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 input has been configured such that the speaker switching is performed by the output mute relay to avoid obstructing the signal path.
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 input.
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 input
- - Direct Input
- - Record input
- - New advanced pre-amplifier
- - Alps volume potentiometer
- - Thermal Cut-Out
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.

Ruark R-CD100 USB CD Player
The Ruark R-CD100 is a high-quality CD player designed for demanding audiophiles, compatible with the models of the Ruark 100 series. Featuring a slot-loading mechanism, it supports CD-DA, CD-R, and CD-RW, and connects easily via USB-C plug-and-play. The elegant design, combining anodized aluminum and fused walnut, ensures durability and acoustic isolation, delivering a pure and immersive listening experience for those who appreciate high-quality audio.
In the contemporary audiophile landscape, where digital music and streaming dominate, the Ruark R-CD100 stands out as a refined tribute to the CD format, offering an elegant solution for enthusiasts who wish to rediscover the purity of uncompressed sound. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Ruark 100 series models such as the Ruark R410, R610, and R810, this CD player represents the perfect balance between tradition and technological innovation.
The Ruark R-CD100 is distinguished by a design that combines aesthetics and functionality. Its structure is crafted from a combination of anodized aluminum and fused walnut, giving the device an elegant appearance and structural robustness. The precisely machined top and bottom plates not only add a touch of class but also contribute to acoustic isolation of the internal mechanism, minimizing external vibrations that could affect sound quality.
The compact dimensions of the CD player, with a height of 45 mm, width of 175 mm, and depth of 167 mm, make it easy to place in any home environment, blending harmoniously with other components of the 100 series. Its lightweight design, at 1.2 kg, further simplifies handling and placement.
At the heart of the Ruark R-CD100 is a high-precision slot-loading mechanism, engineered to ensure accurate disc reading and longer lifespan compared to traditional tray-loading systems. This mechanism is compatible with a variety of disc formats, including CD-DA, CD-R, and CD-RW, offering notable flexibility for playing different types of media.
Integration with 100 series systems occurs via a USB Type-C connection, supporting USB 2.0 and 3.0 standards, ensuring stable and fast data transmission. Once connected, the player is automatically recognized by the system, appearing as an additional source on the main unit’s display. This plug-and-play approach simplifies installation and use, eliminating the need for complex configuration.
A key feature of the Ruark R-CD100 is the absence of an internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This design choice allows the player to take advantage of the advanced DACs present in 100 series devices, ensuring superior sound quality and tonal consistency across different sources. The result is detailed audio reproduction, with extended dynamic range and fidelity that satisfies even the most discerning listeners.
In terms of power, the player requires a 5V USB input with a maximum current of 1A, corresponding to a power consumption of 5W. This low energy requirement makes it efficient and easily powered via standard USB ports on compatible devices.
In summary, the Ruark R-CD100 provides an ideal solution for those who wish to integrate CD playback into their audio system without compromising sound quality, while benefiting from refined design and solid construction. Its compatibility with 100 series models and attention to build details make it a valuable component for any audiophile setup.
