Rega Elicit MK5
Integrated amplifier with phono stage and DAC
In its fifth iteration, Rega improves dramatically on the legendary Elicit amplifier and adds a long-awaited DAC. The Eclicit MK5 is, naturally, built to the highest standard and comes with Rega’s latest case design, matching the MK5 version Saturn CD player.
The amplifier section is based on Rega’s multi-award-winning Class A/B circuitry and offers a healthy 105 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and 162 watts into 4 Ohms. It will drive almost any speaker without issues, and thanks to its wide range of inputs it will integrate well with digital sources like CD players, network players, etc. This being a Rega amplifier it of course comes with an onboard phono stage for MM cartridges, negating the need for external amplification between your turntable and the amplifier.
