It feels like we’ve been waiting forever for Spotify to launch hi-res audio streams – but when they do finally appear, Ruark’s new radio will be ready. With Wi-Fi, DAB and an old-fashioned FM tuner on board, it’ll also let you tune into all of your favourite stations, even those obscure ones that only play Lithuanian folk-trance. If you want to choose your own tunes there’s Spotify Connect, Amazon Music and Deezer, or you can connect over Bluetooth 5.0. There’s also a dedicated podcasts section. Behind the full-colour OLED screen and smart wooden grille is a single full-range driver that’s powered by a Class A/B amp, so when Spotify Hi-Fi does eventually arrive it should sound as good as the R1S looks.
