collection sound better than ever and for vinyl lovers, there is a built-in

The DAB and FM tuner provides excellent performance and with DAB+ also built in, the R5 is future ready for the rollout of this technology in the UK.
The system comes with Spotify built-in and with a Spotify Premium account you can select R5 as your playback device and then control the music using the RotoDial, remote control or the Ruark LINK app.
For direct streaming, the aptX HD Bluetooth receiver provides above CD quality from compatible devices and with a broadband connection you’ll have access to internet radio stations worldwide and an infinite library of music through services such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Deezer and Tidal.

The trademark top mounted RotoDial controller provides a slick control system which is easy to use and also includes a matching remote which mirrors exactly the main controller. Using radio communication, the remote does not need to be aimed during operation and when sited on a table or sitting in your hand the remote is an ergonomic delight.

Programme, time and alarm status are shown with vivid clarity on the Organic LED (OLED) display. The display is chemically bonded to the glass front panel for absolute legibility and contrast at any viewing angle and the brightness can be adjusted to suit your requirements, when active and also in standby.
