With the redesign of the main PCBA we’ve improved audio quality and have also added our STEREO+ sound processing which we developed for R5 Signature. This creates a broader and cleaner soundstage with great depth and realism.
On the rear panel we have the same analogue and digital inputs as the original R3 but look closely and you will see that Line Out connectors can now also be used as a subwoofer output. This is selected and switched through Menu/ System/Audio on our RotoDial controller. We currently have our own subwoofer under development, but most good quality subwoofer will work with R3s.
Our new module is faster and provides an enhanced user experience which is particularly noticeable when changing sources and browsing Internet Radio stations
R3s features a new generation Bluetooth 5 receiver running the latest 5.2 firmware. This provides excellent sound quality and a greater ultimate range with a more reliable and efficient connection meaning that connected devices will run longer without needing a recharge. The Bluetooth function now also seamlessly integrates with the volume control on phones and tablets, so when volume on device is adjusted this is also shown on the display of R3s.
With the growth of Podcasts, R3s now has a source dedicated to this increasingly popular entertainment medium. Whatever your interest and wherever you are, a podcast to suit your taste is only a few clicks away.
The most popular streaming service in the world is still Spotify and of course R3s continues to support Spotify Connect, but it is also ready to support Spotify’s HiFi service when it is made available. Talk of this higher resolution service has been around for a while now, but we expect an official announcement soon
