FAQ

Does the Elicit MK5 need a separate DAC?

No — it includes a high‑quality Wolfson DAC and accepts digital inputs (optical/co‑axial), so you can connect streamers or CD transports directly. 

Can I connect a turntable directly?

Yes — it has a built‑in MM phono stage, so you can connect a turntable (with moving‑magnet cartridge) without needing an external phono pre‑amp. 

Will it drive low‑impedance / demanding speakers?

It delivers 105 W into 8 Ω, 127 W into 6 Ω and 162 W into 4 Ω — generally enough to drive most bookshelf and many floor‑standing speakers. For optimal performance, ensure good ventilation if you run at high volumes.

Care & Maintenance

Place the amplifier on a stable, well‑ventilated surface to allow proper heat dissipation. Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the exterior and avoid abrasive or wet cleaners. For long listening sessions, ensure sufficient airflow around the case to prevent overheating.
