ARCAM rCube Pro Reviews

Sort:

ITreviews‘s review Edit Like Unlike

An expensive dock for sure, but considering the high standard of build and sound quality and the extensive feature count, it's not bad value. You may prefer to wait for Airplay enabled docks to appear but aside from that this is the best iPod dock on the market.

The rCube is Arcam's most ambitious product yet. The result of around five years' research and development, it aims to bring hi-fi quality sound to a compact and transportable speaker dock.

Low frequencies don’t have the outright extension of some rivals, but bass is taut, controlled and nuanced, while the midrange is full of detail. Integration with the open, crisp high frequencies is flawless. Timing, too, is natural and unforced, so there’s a rare unity to the rCube’s sound. It snaps through dynamic peaks with positivity and deals with the toughest tempos dismissively. Complex or muddy mixes are confidently unpicked, and the Arcam can turn its hand from a massed orchestral assault to a single-voice-with-guitar without breaking sweat. In short, it’s everything you want from an iPod speaker dock.

Compared to B&W's Zeppelin or Philips' DS9000 Fidelio, the extra £100 is peanuts when you take into account the increased quality of sound the rCube delivers. Lest we forget forget that it’s also very small, with an internal battery and wireless option. I have to say that, had the rCube been available for inclusion in my up-market iPod dock round-up, it would have taken the gold medal.

The Arcam rCube may have come too late to be entered into our 2010 Awards, but for me it would have been my product of the year. As it stands it is day one of 2011 and it will take something truly special over the next 364 days to displace it in my heart. The B&W Zeppelin ruled the speaker dock roost for nearly three years, but its reign is over. At £500 the rCube isn't cheap, but its acoustic performance is unmatched, its form factor minimal and its functionality way beyond that of its rivals. I ordered one… after 15 minutes.

The design is intuitive, and the controls simple enough for any hi-fi novice to get the most out of their money. The Arcam rCube is a desirable and great-sounding gadget, although it's far from cheap.

With millions of us having ditched our CD collections this kind of product ought to do well with people searching for a modern Hi-Fi system. Small, perfectly formed and portable, the rCube’s promise of lossless music streaming dimension is exciting and makes the £500 price tag appear good value - this is a pretty serious Hi-Fi component, after all. Audio-wise it compares reasonably well with the more expensive competition, though it’s not the all-rounder it could be.
