Rega Brio Mk7 – Now Not Only with a Phonostage, But Also with a DAC
31.03.2025 09:30 | ~1 minute read
Rega has introduced the seventh generation of the Brio series integrated amplifier - Rega Brio Mk7. The amp, like its predecessors, is housed in a compact case and offers a power of 2 x 50 W at 8 Ohm load or 2 x 73 W at 6 Ohm. "On board" along with a headphone amplifier (with a 3.5 mm minijack post) and a phono preamplifier for working with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) pickup cartridges, a digital-to-analog converter module has also appeared.
The Rega Brio Mk7 integrated amplifier's connectivity includes three RCA line-level analogue inputs, an MM Phono input, as well as optical and coaxial digital inputs capable of accepting a digital stream in PCM format with parameters up to 24 bit / 192 kHz.
The special design of the internal circuits and signal paths minimizes possible interference from different modules. The amplifier's design maintains a compact form factor - 216 x 79 x 365 mm, and weighs only 4.9 kg, despite the extruded aluminum housing.
The Rega Brio Mk7 integrated amplifier is available to order now at a recommended retail price of €999. Deliveries will begin in May 2025.
