I bought this for the kitchen to replace a similar item (now discontinued) from another British manufacturer, which I had repurposed as a TV soundbar. There are two things I particularly love about it when listening to internet radio or podcasts: a) It shows the track playing and artist when listening to Radio Paradise and b) it has a dedicated source for podcasts. These two things mean I no longer have to fiddle about using a separate tablet or phone and Bluetooth……Oh and the sound quality is excellent too.

I bought the Ruark R2 mk4 about a month ago for my place in Spain. I was initially going to take out a Pure radio I had but DAB has moved on with DAB+. This unit seems to do it all, Bluetooth , DAB, DAB+, FM , USB, Line in, Amazon, Deezer, Spotify and Internet radio. more importantly it sounds amazing when playing my personal music library through Qobuz. Such a superior sound from such a relatively small unit. My only slight niggle is that Qobuz is not supported directly, unlike Ruark’s more expensive units so please update the firmware to allow for this. All in all more than just a radio,

I bought this one month ago and I so happy I’ve been using the Ruark R2 Mk4 Smart Music System for a month now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made.
From the moment I unboxed it, the design blew me away. It’s stunningly beautiful—that perfect blend of retro charm and modern minimalism that fits perfectly in any room. But it’s not just a pretty face; the build quality is top-notch.
The sound quality is where this system truly shines. It delivers a rich, warm audio profile that fills the room without ever feeling forced. Whether I’m listening to a podcast or a high-bitrate jazz stream, the clarity and depth are incredible. It has that ‘soulful’ sound signature that Ruark is famous for.
What surprised me most is how intuitive it is. The signature RotoDial controller is a joy to use, and the setup was seamless. I also love the versatility of music sources: I can jump from Spotify Connect and Amazon Music to DAB+ radio or even Bluetooth in seconds. Everything works exactly as it should.
If you’re looking for a compact system that doesn’t compromise on style or acoustic performance, the R2 Mk4 is the one. Highly recommended

Eleganckie i stylowy sprzęt, gra zaskakująco dobrze, jak na rozmiary (słucham przede wszystkim radia internetowego i serwisów streamingowych). Obsługa intuicyjna, menu czytelne i w języku polskim. W jednej ze znalezionych opinii, była informacja o problemie połączenia z siecią wifi, który myślę, został wyeleminowany przez aktualizację oprogramowania, które nastąpiło przy pierwszym uruchomieniu. Połączenie prze WPS łatwe i skuteczne. Takiej sprzętu szukałem, jednym przyciskiem włączam i ładnie gra moja ulubione muzyka. Minus za brak pilota, przy takiej cenie bezwzględnie powinien być.

Bought the R2 MK4 a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with it so far, sounds great and looks good. My only “i wish” is that there is no support for Airplay (i use Apple Music)

The tonal separation Ruark Radio is the best I have ever heard. Sometimes times I get a sense that I am hearing the sound of musicians in a recording studio and not no a stage show.
I have found the bass a bit strong so I put a softcover book under the radio to block the bass ports. That balanced and reduced the bass volume more to my liking.
I have lots to learn about all the workings and source stations of the radio. It will take months but for now I am just enjoying the music.
