Ruark Audio – the brand behind the likes of the stylish Ruark Audio R410 all-in-one music system and the Award-winning Ruark Audio R1S digital radio – is back with something for fans of physical media. The Ruark R-CD100 is the brand's new CD player which, thanks to its smooth operation and signature design, aims to get the best out of your CD collection. You still have a CD collection, right?
Ruark is calling the R-CD100 a CD player, but it's more akin to a CD transport, as there is no DAC built-in and needs to be paired with one of Ruark's 100 Series of products, such as the Ruark R410, R610 or R810, to work properly. Once connected, the CD100 pops up as an option in the product’s source list, with signal processing carried out by the DACs built into the 100 Series product.
