Hi-fi is like Japanese knotweed: you start with a single piece and eventually your entire house is filled with the stuff. The Ruark R410 is the antidote, packing extensive connectivity, wide streaming service support and powerful speakers into one unit.

As well as the phono stage, subwoofer output, digital optical output and RCA ports around back, there's a host of wireless options including Spotify, Tidal Connect and Chromecast. Apple, Qobuz and Amazon can make the most of the 32-bit DAC via their music apps and let's not forget the good ol' FM/DAB+ aerial.
