Ruark R5 review

A modern all-in-one CD-playing streaming solution

Neat, stylish package ; All-encompassing connectivity ; Likeable, warm, clear sound ; Satisfactory control app

Sound lacks a little verve and insight

This Ruark is perhaps the most well-featured all-in-one desktop system you can buy right now

Ruark R5 review: the mini system for the 21st century and a real Naim Mu-so rival

Smooth sounding multi-room, with CD, radio and a vinyl input

The kind of sound you can listen to all day ; Includes CD player, just like in the old days! ; And also a DAB/FM radio! ; Lookin' good

Does not by any means kick ass or take names ; Slightly odd round, dial-based remote control

Ruark R5 review: A well-connected throwback

The R5 is a supremely versatile home audio system that beautifully blends legacy features and modern technology

Great range of connectivity options ; Sounds superb ; Looks classy

Pricey ; Lacks AirPlay 2 or Chromecast support

The R5 is a delightfully crafted home audio system that sounds superb while simultaneously feeling nostalgic and modern both in terms of what it can do and how it looks. Whether it’s worth £1,000 of your hard-earned money is really down to how much...
