Rega Elicit MK5 Integrated Amplifier

The Rega Elicit MK5 is a high-performance integrated amplifier designed to be the musical heart of your hi-fi system. It is the culmination of decades of electronic design experience, blending features from Rega's most successful products. Housed in a new, heavy-bodied custom case that improves heat dissipation, the Elicit MK5 builds on previous designs by incorporating a powerful Class A/B amplifier circuit, a high-quality moving magnet phono stage, and a high-performance integrated DAC. This amplifier is engineered to deliver a powerful, musical, and transparent sound with a wide range of connectivity options.

Key Features

• High-Power Amplifier: Features a Class A/B amplifier circuit delivering 105W per channel into 8Ω and 127W into 6Ω.
• Integrated DAC: Includes a high-performance DAC circuit with two digital inputs (one optical and one coaxial) for connecting digital sources.
• High-Quality Phono Stage: A high-specification moving magnet phono stage is integrated, allowing for direct connection of a turntable.
• Versatile Connectivity: Offers four line-level inputs, a direct input, a record output, and a pre-out option.
• Advanced Pre-amplifier: Shares the same discrete FET-based pre-amplifier circuit as the acclaimed Rega Aethos amplifier.
• Dedicated Headphone Output: A front-panel headphone output, configured to avoid obstructing the main speaker signal path.
• Lifetime Warranty: Built to the highest standards and backed by a lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects.

Meticulous Component and Circuit Design

The Elicit MK5 is a testament to Rega's "no compromise" design philosophy. It is built with a singular focus on sonic performance, utilizing high-quality components such as Sanken output transistors, discrete circuitry, and polypropylene capacitors. The digital and analogue sections are galvanically isolated, preventing electrical interference and ensuring a clean and transparent signal. Furthermore, the volume is controlled by a high-performance Alps potentiometer, a feature taken directly from the higher-end Aethos amplifier, to further improve sonic and technical performance.

Uncompromising Power and Musicality

With its powerful Class A/B amplifier, the Elicit MK5 is capable of driving a wide range of loudspeakers with ease, delivering a robust and dynamic performance. The amplifier's sound can be summed up in three words: taut, punchy, and clear. It excels at delivering a powerful and agile bass, an explicit and nuanced midrange, and a clean treble. This forthright and controlled nature ensures that the amplifier remains composed even at high volume levels, bringing a sense of energy and propulsion to your music.

A Comprehensive Digital and Analogue Hub

The Elicit MK5 is designed to be the heart of a modern audio system, offering extensive connectivity for both analogue and digital sources. The integrated moving magnet phono stage is a high-quality circuit that provides the perfect interface for your turntable. For digital sources, the built-in DAC, which utilizes a Wolfson S/PDIF receiver IC and DAC, offers two inputs for connecting a CD player, music streamer, or other digital components. This blend of features makes the Elicit MK5 a flexible and convenient core for any modern hi-fi system.

Sophisticated Design and Functionality

Every aspect of the Elicit MK5's physical design is both functional and refined. The new, heavy-bodied custom case not only provides a modern aesthetic but also improves heat dissipation, ensuring the amplifier remains stable even under demanding conditions. The front panel, with its clean, linear design, and the included Solaris remote, offer intuitive control. The pre-out, direct input, and record loop functionality provide a level of flexibility that will satisfy even the most demanding audio enthusiasts.
