Deeply troubling reliability and interface
I cannot understate how disappointed I have been with my recent purchase of this CD player. I own an old R4 whose CD player failed and I could not get it repaired, so I upgraded to the new R410 and have waited for the CD player to come (despite my wife querying the logic to buy a machine from a manufacturer whose last machine died). Anyway I opened the box on my new CD player connected it up and nothing, it whirred and couldn't read any CD presented to it, then it jammed with one half in the slot. You can imagine my wife's scorn, I returned to the supplier who replaced my unit with the display one. More success with this, it could detect and play CD's! However the dream integration between the R410 and CD player is a myth, Randomly I have to manually select CD, then occasionally the R410 just emits a distorted hum until I manually turn the power off and on again to reset the system that the CD player has somehow confused. On the positive side it sounds great, but I am very worried about reliability and my wife's told you so expression.

Sorry to read that you have had some issues with your R410 and R-CD100 combo. What you have described is not something that has been reported before, so firstly we would advise that you check to make sure that your R410 has the latest software installed. This will be in System Info and should be MOD: 2.1.1xx or above. Should symptoms still persist, please do not hesitate to contact us directly (customerservice@ruark.co.uk) so we can help you further.

What a design..
The design of this product is amazing.....a work of art, regardless of how it sounds, but luckily it does produce excellent audio through the R410.

Fine CD Player
Part of a new system, paired with the Ruark R610, a Rega Planar 3RS turntable, and AE1 40th Anniversary speakers. Very happy with the result - fine sound quality.

Black option
I have the R610 and sabre speakers in satin black ,it Will be nice to have the option of a black top plate on the CD100 to match my ensemble. But I Will probably buy one soon ,just my opinion . Merci

R-CD100 premium design and performance!
Good CD player options are fairly few and far between, so this little unit was a no-brainer once I’d been introduced to Ruark’s impressive and beautiful R610 console and Sabre-R speakers. It was a tad noisy to begin with, but settled down after a couple of plays, so just a bit of “teething”! It now handles my vast CD library with ease and aplomb!

CD Player for R410
I added this to my R410 to utilize my older collection of CDs. Plug and Go! One simple USB-C connector and it integrates directly into the music source selection on the R410. Looks elegant, matches the beautiful esthetics of the R410. This is a no-brainer addition to the R410, and I couldn't be happier with this elegant unit. Ruark Audio has amazing products!
