The amplifier delivers 105W per channel into 8Ω and 162W into 4Ω in a Class AB topology, providing vast power reserves and absolute control over low frequencies. The preamplifier stage is built around discrete FETs and an ALPS potentiometer, incorporating technologies from the flagship Aethos amplifier for exceptional linearity, an extensive frequency response of 10Hz–85kHz, and crystal-clear sonic detail.
The Rega Elicit MK5 is a handcrafted Class AB integrated amplifier, made in the UK and designed to be the heart of any high-end system. It combines 105 W of power into 8 Ω, a built-in Wolfson DAC supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz, a premium phono stage for MM cartridges, a preamplifier stage with discrete FETs, and a sturdy aluminium chassis with improved heat dissipation.
Class AB Amplification Stage & Top Power
The amplifier delivers 105W per channel into 8Ω and 162W into 4Ω in a Class AB topology, providing vast power reserves and absolute control over low frequencies. The preamplifier stage is built around discrete FETs and an ALPS potentiometer, incorporating technologies from the flagship Aethos amplifier for exceptional linearity, an extensive frequency response of 10Hz–85kHz, and crystal-clear sonic detail.
Built-in Wolfson DAC & Premium MM Phono Input
For the first time, Rega has integrated its own digital circuitry into the Elicit, based on the acclaimed Wolfson DAC, supporting resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz via optical (Toslink) and coaxial inputs. The digital section is fully isolated from the analogue circuitry to eliminate interference. In addition, the built-in phono stage for MM cartridges uses precision components for outstanding analogue playback.
Versatile Connectivity & Handcrafted Construction
It features 4 analogue Line inputs, a preamp output (Pre-amp Out), a Record Output, and a Direct input for use as a power amplifier. The front panel includes a high-quality 6.3mm headphone output. The new 12.5 kg aluminium chassis ensures improved heat dissipation and rigidity, while the entire unit is hand-built in the UK.
