Rega Elicit MK5 Integrated Amplifier

A 105 Wpc amp with DAC, MM phonostage, and headphone amp.

Rega’s Elicit MK5 carries on the excitement of their great range of integrated amps in a new custom case to match the rest of the Rega range. Rega’s multi-award-winning Class A/B power amplifier circuit delivers a powerful 105 W per channel into 8 Ω (127 W into 6 Ω).

A high-quality onboard DAC offers galvanically/optically isolated digital inputs. The  Wolfson chip is paired with a Rega-designed discrete line-driver circuit. There’s a quiet MM phonostage on board too. The Elicit MK5 is capable of driving difficult loudspeakers with ease.

The Elicit MK5 offers design features taken directly from the highly acclaimed Aethos amplifier. You will find the same discrete FET-based pre-amplifier circuit, plus an Alps volume potentiometer has been introduced to further improve sonic and technical performance. Discrete circuitry, high-quality relays, polypropylene capacitors, and Sanken output transistors are used throughout the design.
