Rega Elicit MK5 Integrated Amplifier

The Elicit MK5 is a high-performance integrated amplifier that distills decades of Rega’s electronic design experience into a single, versatile chassis. Built around a discrete FET-based preamplifier stage and a muscular Class A/B power section delivering 105 W per channel into 8 Ω, it draws directly from the engineering that defines the acclaimed Aethos amplifier. The result is a component that combines generous power reserves with the finesse to resolve fine detail, making it a capable partner for a wide range of loudspeakers.

Connectivity is extensive and thoughtfully implemented. Four line-level inputs sit alongside a high-quality moving magnet phono stage, while optical and coaxial digital inputs feed a purpose-designed Rega DAC circuit built around a Wolfson S/PDIF receiver and DAC IC, galvanically isolated to preserve signal integrity. A dedicated headphone output, direct input for home theater integration, and a record loop add further system-building flexibility. Throughout the signal path, Rega has specified polypropylene capacitors, precision relays, and Sanken output transistors, with an Alps volume potentiometer ensuring accurate channel tracking. Housed in the latest custom casework and backed by a lifetime limited warranty, the Elicit MK5 is engineered for long-term reliability and musically engaging performance.
