Default Ruark are gunnin' for Naim shock horror!

Much though I love my R4 in it's segment, as quite possibly the best bedroom system therein, I'm aware that it's been close but no cigar to the Naim range, tempered for me by their metallic edge, but now with the upcoming R5 they have the Muso in their sights. The R5 will have more features, including a cd drive and a full phono amp, and it's Tidal washing powder will clean the Spotify's from your clothes, and be a great Deezer as you go up the Amazon, and it will do 24 bit also. Early reports say it has a great SS, with the usual Ruark emote. It may come close to the R7, but with only 90W that remains to be seen.

The grand plan, if I dig it, is to use the extra £1.3K from the R7 price to augment my portable system with an AK, and if I chose to sell my R4 as well, I may well see why my local laundry likes Tidal so much. Or whatever site does over 320 kbps down loads. Or I might just get an R7 and do the rest anyway.
