Why choose Signature Sound Set?
- Matched bundle: Sabre-R and R610 share Ruark design DNA – no separate amp/DAC/streamer shopping.
- True all-in-one: R610 combines power amp, DAC, streaming, MM phono, radio, and HDMI TV input in one compact unit.
- Emotional bookshelf hi-fi: Sabre-R inherits the 1985 Sabre line with smooth, warm mids and clear treble.
- Living-room centerpiece: hand-finished veneer, curved edges, magnetic fabric grille – decor as much as audio.
- Vinyl ready: plug an MM turntable into R610 phono input (deck sold separately).
- Easy to expand: add R-CD100, a turntable, or other line sources without replacing the core system.
Ruark Sabre-R in the bundle
Sabre-R is a passive 2-way bookshelf: 15 cm natural-fiber woofer, 26 mm neodymium silk-dome tweeter, crossover around 2.2 kHz, dual bass-reflex cabinet (~6.8 L). Frequency range 50 Hz – 20 kHz (±3 dB), 6 Ω impedance, 86 dB sensitivity, recommended amp 25 – 100 W. Size ~290 x 175 x 215 mm per speaker, ~5 kg each; gold-plated bi-wire binding posts.
Signature Ruark tone: full mids, non-harsh treble, tight bass – great for jazz, vocals, acoustic, and long-session pop. Sabre-R is also sold separately if you already own an amp; Signature Sound Set pairs it with R610 out of the box.
Ruark R610 Music Console
R610 is a music hub with Class-D 75 W/channel amp, Burr-Brown DAC, preamp, streamer, and radio. Response 22 Hz – 22 kHz (±3 dB). A 5″ TFT screen, RotoDial, and rechargeable Bluetooth remote make album art and radio browsing intuitive.
Key connectivity: Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Wi-Fi/Ethernet, Bluetooth aptX HD, MM phono, optical, line in, HDMI ARC/eARC (TV), USB-C for R-CD100, Internet Radio, DAB/DAB+, FM. Size ~107 x 300 x 280 mm, ~4.1 kg.
For vinyl: connect an MM turntable (phono or line output depending on deck) to R610. Browse decks in District M turntables. R610 has built-in MM phono only, not dedicated MC phono.
Suggested use cases
- Lossless streaming: TIDAL, Qobuz, or Spotify Connect over Wi-Fi.
- Vinyl: MM turntable into R610 phono (or line if the deck has built-in phono).
- TV: HDMI ARC/eARC from TV to R610, Sabre-R as main speakers.
- CD: add R-CD100 via USB-C on the back of R610.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in Ruark Signature Sound Set?
Sabre-R speaker pair + R610 Music Console and speaker cable supplied with R610. Standard bundle does not include a turntable or R-CD100.

No. R610 has built-in MM phono for a separate deck. District M can add a turntable option (e.g. TEAC TN-400BT-X) when ordering the bundle.
Is R610 powerful enough for Sabre-R?
