The Ruark R3S offers the ultimate combination of expansive, lifelike sound from a compact and stylish design.

An award-winner made better
Based on the award-winning R3 model, the latest ‘S’ version features a powerful new processor, and revised circuitry for even more spacious and lifelike sound quality. The sleek style and feature-packed streamer remain just as before.

Enhanced sound – now with STEREO+
Powerful new processing now incorporates Ruark’s STEREO+ sound system. This gives you a wider and deeper sound that makes everything sound much more spacious and lifelike. For such a compact system, the wide-open sound is a revelation. Adaptive equalisation provides the ideal sound at all volume levels.

Stream your favourite music
Connect up to your Broadband connection via wi-fi or Ethernet and stream all the music you want. Compatible with popular services such as Spotify Connect (with Premium account), Amazon Music, and Deezer, the R3S gives you access to a near limitless range of music. If you enjoy listening to radio and podcasts from around the world, Internet radio services, including catch-up services are also on hand.

CD player built-in
For full compatibility with your treasured discs, the R3S is equipped with a built-in CD player. This high quality player lets you play all your existing discs without the need to transfer them to a storage device. The multi-format player is compatible with CD-R, CD-RW, MP3, WMA and AAC (320 Kbps) encoded music discs.

SmartRadio Tuner – includes DAB
As well as Internet radio, the R3S is equipped with DAB+/DAB/FM tuners. DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) gives access to the widest range of stations, in crisp and clear digital sound quality. In case your favourite stations aren't available in DAB, this Ruark radio is also equipped with an FM tuner.

New generation Bluetooth 5 connection
For quick and easy connectivity, the R3S also features Bluetooth V5.0. Connect your smartphone, tablet or other Bluetooth music source and effortlessly stream your stored music or streaming music services.

Connect more
Perfect for giving your TV or games console a boost in quality, the R3S features a digital optical input. Link it up and you’ll enjoy a boost to the sound that easily beats most TV’s built-in speakers. RCA phono inputs are ideal for connecting analogue sources – such as a turntable with built-in phonostage, or even a cassette deck (RCA phono outputs are also standard). For a direct connection with your HiRes player, smartphone or computer, there’s also a USB-C connection for playback and charge.

Easy control, with Rotodial
At the centre of the R3S, you’ll find Ruark’s signature control system – Rotodial. This intuitive control system groups all the functions together and makes it easy to switch between sources, change the volume, change tracks and more. Alternatively, there’s the UNDOK app for smartphone control. An infrared remote control with direct access pre-sets is also supplied.

Sleek, OLED display with clock and alarm
With its OLED display, large format clock and built-in alarm, the R3S makes a premium bedside system. The easily programmed, dual alarm comes with a wide range of features, including once, daily, weekday and weekend settings plus snooze and sleep timers.

Luxurious wood and lacquer finishes
Ruark have a long held reputation for producing some of the finest wood-finished speakers and the R3S is no exception. Using real wood veneers and soft lacquer finishes, immaculately wrapped around a curved cabinet, the R3S is as good to look at as it sounds.

Get a more spacious sound from a compact system, with the Ruark R3S.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ruark Audio R35 Excellent product and very happy with the recommendations given by Richersounds. The product is of good quality and the sound is very good. It is an intergrated system including CD as we still love our cd's but has all the modern things like, internet streaming, bluetooth etc. Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Superb sound I've had this for just over 3 weeks and I am mightily pleased. The sound is impressively full for such a compact unit, with rich base & clear mid & high ranges. Significantly better than other systems I've tried in this price range. I'm aware that my hearing no longer covers the full range of my earlier years, however I've heard attributes in music that previously escaped me on other systems. There are glitches though - occasionally the sound cuts out & the unit has to be re-started & like others I have experienced the rhythmic "tapping" part way through a CD. Again switching off and on clears this issue. Possible software/firmware upgrade required?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from RS3 Great sound and just what we were after to allow us to connect our mini disk system and revisit our cd and mini disk collection. Refreshing change in this digital age!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fabulously helpful Customer Support We are rather elderly and not particularly adept at set-up technology. We phoned Ruark on 01702-601410 and were immediately put through to a very patient helpful gentleman who gently took us through the whole wizard set-up process. He is a real credit to Ruark. We are absolutely delighted with our purchase. Lovely clear sound. We can hear every word of the Hummel Mass on our CD. Radio reception excellent too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great piece of equipment We bought our R3s about six weeks ago and albeit CDs or radio it’s on most of the time. We are really enjoying it. A Good Buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing One of the best sounds I've heard from an all in one system. It's also easy to operate from their dedicated app.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ruark R3S (Worth every penny) I have been reading review after review for the past 4 weeks about the Ruark R3S and a similar product from another British company, both of which did what I wanted. At home we already have a high end set up in the sitting room consisting of Marantz, Yamaha and DALI. I knew which ever product I chose wouldn't be a match for such a set up but for such a small unit the Ruark R3S delivers an impressively crisp precise room filling sound. Our music taste is very eclectic and all sounds great with the odd tweek in the settings. We have found that loudness should be left on all the time but 3D audio is better suited to classical. I am currently listening to Faure Requiem and with the 3D audio on it adds a whole new dynamic to the sound which is very pleasing. I chose to buy from Richer sounds because there knowledge and customer service is 2nd to none.
