ELICIT MK5

Integrated Amplifier


The all new Elicit MK5 stereo integrated amplifier is designed and built to the highest standard. Housed in our latest custom case to match the rest of the Rega range, the new MK5 builds on previous Rega designs by using our multi-award-winning Class A/B power amplifier circuit to deliver a powerful 105 W per channel into 8 Ω loads (127 W into 6 Ω). Our engineers have designed a new Rega DAC circuit offering digital connectivity and greater integration with a variety of other products. We have taken great care to incorporate a high quality MM phono stage and the headphone output has been configured such that the speaker switching is performed by the output mute relay to avoid obstructing the signal path.

 

 

The heart of your music

The new Elicit MK5 calls on decades of electronic design experience. It is a complex blend of three of our most successful products which promises to deliver big on sound, power, features and style. The Elicit MK5 is capable of driving difficult loudspeakers with ease and will integrate perfectly into any audio system by offering a wide range of connectivity options. In addition to line, digital, and a high-quality moving magnet (MM) phono input, you will also find pre-out, Direct in, Record loop functionality and the high-performance headphone output.

 

KEY FEATURES

  • 105 W per channel into 8 Ω
  • High quality moving magnet phono stage
  • 2 x Digital inputs - 1 x optical and 1 x Co-Axial
  • High performance Rega DAC circuit for digital inputs
  • 4 Line level inputs
  • Headphone output
  • Direct Input
  • Record input
  • New advanced pre-amplifier
  • Alps volume potentiometer
  • Thermal Cut-Out
  • Lifetime warranty against manufacture defects

 

The Elicit MK5 now shares other design features taken directly from the highly acclaimed Aethos amplifier. You will find the same discrete FET based pre-amplifier circuit, plus an Alps volume potentiometer has been introduced to further improve sonic and technical performance. As you would expect, special attention has been paid to the selection of key audio components. Discrete circuitry, high-quality relays, polypropylene capacitors, and Sanken output transistors are used throughout the design. 

The galvanically/optically isolated digital inputs utilise a Wolfson S/PDIF receiver IC to provide exceptional detail and clarity from any connected source. Output is provided by a Wolfson DAC and Rega designed discrete line-driver circuit. The new Elicit MK5 calls upon decades of award-winning experience in amplifier and digital circuit design which culminates in a perfectly engineered balance of reliability, connectivity and above all, accurate music reproduction.

 

 

 

REVIEW & AWARDS

Rega Elicit Mk5 has got the power - Read More


"I do not envy a newcomer to the bewildering word of hi-fi, trying to cut through the cacophony of opinion, reviews, brands, sales spin and choice to make a buying decision. It is small wonder that the market for all-in-one solutions is growing. At £2,000 here in the UK, the Rega Elicit Mk5 is by no means inexpensive but given the array of features on offer as well as the outstanding sound quality it should serve as the hub of an excellent system. I was sorry to see it go. Highly recommended." - Chris Kelly

 

Rega Elicit Mk5 Integrated Amplifier Review - Read More


"With the Elicit Mk5, the same comparison made against the peerless NAIT XS3 comes down in the other direction. The Rega is £500 cheaper, matches the Naim across the analogue inputs, headphone output and phono stage and then has those two digital connections too. This is, by the standards of Rega anyway, a fairly radical amp but it is still a Rega through and through and an unquestionable Best Buy." - Ed Selley

"The Rega Elicit Mk5 is a brawny amplifier with a full package for the odyssey of the audiophile journey. The excellent and comprehensive DAC treatment, the high-quality MM phono stage and the decent headphone output make this the leading contender at this price point in my view." - Simon Wilce

 

Rega Elicit MK5 review - Read More


"Just over 30 years on from the original, the Elicit integrated remains an excellent choice for those that prioritise sonic performance. While this latest iteration offers more features than previous generations, it still can’t be said to be particularly generous in this respect. But, what’s left is one of the best sounding integrated amplifiers available at this price, one that’s as comfortable with digital sources as it is with analogue. Recommended? You bet." - What Hi-Fi?

"It's this pleasure that marks these devices out as something special. You can't measure enjoyment and I don't imagine you specifically seek to create it at a design brief level. Nevertheless, across hours of listening to anything I can think of, this pair makes music an emotionally pleasurable experience. You can reasonably argue that these are the most flexible and 'modern' Rega devices yet, but that has been achieved without altering what the company has always done so well. The Elicit MK5 and Saturn MK3 are the perfect embodiment of 2022, but they remain timelessly Rega while they do so"


Rega’s Elicit MK5 is – plain and simple – a superb integrated amplifier - Read More


"The Elicit MK5 errs from neutral with a slightly forward sound, which some listeners will prefer. This calling card isn’t overdone and its digital stage is good, far from being a convenience feature. A USB input would have been nice but that’s the only nit I can pick. The Rega’s headphone output is very satisfying too. I wouldn’t bet against the in-built phono stage being similarly decent. This is a superb amplifier for the money, worth the asking price even without its phono and digital capabilities. It’s made in the U.K. to boot." - Phil

"It’s 30 years since the original Elicit integrated amplifier appeared but Rega has managed to update it for the modern era and provided us with a top-rate, mid-priced integrated to rival the competition out there. This is a hotly contested price point at £2000 which British rivals excel at as well as foreign competition. The choice for music lovers has now got better!" - Ian Ringstead

"Rega adds more functionality than we’re used to, but doesn’t alter the sonic characteristics we’ve always admired." - Simon Lucas
