{"product_id":"rega-elicit-mk5-vollverstaerker-mit-dac","title":"Rega Elicit MK5 Integrated Amplifier, Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rega Elicit MK5 is an integrated amplifier with a built-in DAC and MM phono stage, combining 105 watts into 8 ohms with audiophile finesse – the control centre for a serious stereo system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt inherits components and circuit ideas from Rega's upper range and brings them together in one unit that takes analogue and digital sources equally seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Elicit MK5?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it combines composure with power. Field-effect transistors in the signal path give a fluid, musical tone, and the powerful power supply stays in control even at high levels. The built-in MM phono stage is remarkably quiet, and the built-in converter takes a streamer, CD player or TV directly – no external DAC needed. Via Direct-In it integrates cleanly into a home cinema system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder and authority. The Elicit MK5 keeps instruments precisely in their place, layers depth clearly, and stays organised even with complex material. After some run-in time, the sound opens up noticeably and the treble loses any harshness. Straight talk: this is an amplifier that flatters nothing but holds everything together correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Elicit MK5 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor listeners who want a \"finished\" system in which vinyl and digital sources play as equals – a long-term amplifier for many years to come. Honestly: if you're only running a small standmount speaker at room-listening volume, the Elex or Brio will do just fine. If you want headroom, a DAC and more refined components, the Elicit is exactly right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elicit MK5 is the sensible entry point into Rega's upper range: plenty of reference-level genes, plus DAC and phono in one chassis. An amplifier you buy, set up, and enjoy for a long time. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we tune it to your speakers, sources and room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: integrated amplifier with DAC and MM phono stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput power: 105 W into 8 Ω (127 W into 6 Ω, 162 W into 4 Ω)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital inputs: S\/PDIF optical, S\/PDIF coaxial (up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalogue inputs: 1× phono MM, 4× line (RCA), 1× Direct-In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutputs: pre-amp out, record out, headphone (6.35 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W×H×D): 432 × 82 × 340 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: Elicit MK5, Solaris remote control, power cable, manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the Elicit MK5 as a power amp in a home cinema setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Via Direct-In you bypass the volume control and connect it to the pre-out of your AV receiver. That way your front speakers play music in Rega quality, yet are still controlled by the surround system for home cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich digital sources can I connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnything with an optical or coaxial S\/PDIF output: a CD player, network streamer or your TV. The built-in converter handles resolutions up to 24-bit\/192 kHz – a separate DAC isn't needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it differ from the Elex MK4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elicit MK5 offers more power, a stronger power supply and more finely selected components. This brings greater composure at high levels and a more stable, deeper soundstage. The Elex is the more affordable entry point, the Elicit the next step up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Rega Elicit MK5 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we think about the whole chain.
