The new Rega Elicit MK5 integrated amplifier builds on historic Rega designs, using for example the award-winning Class A/B amplifier circuitry delivering 105W per channel into 8Ω (127W into 6Ω), combined with a number of technical innovations, such as the new DAC circuitry offering digital connectivity and greater integration with a variety of products.

It also shares design features of the acclaimed Aethos amplifier – such as the same discrete FET-based preamp circuitry.

From the introduction of an Alps volume pot to further enhance sonic and technical performance, to the attention and care in the selection of key audio components, the Rega Elicit MK5 is a product of the highest calibre that ideally bridges the gap between the mid-range and the higher end of Rega electronics.
