The Rega Brio Mk7 may have jumped up a price class, but its excellent sound and handy list of features put it among the leaders

Rega
Brio MK7
The Brio is Rega's best-selling amplifier and the MK7 is the most capable version of it. The circuit was re-laid from scratch for lower distortion, and it now delivers 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms — 72 into 4 — from the familiar half-width aluminium case. What is new is the built-in Rega DAC: coaxial and optical inputs up to 192kHz, so a streamer or a television joins the system without another box. Three line inputs, the moving-magnet phono stage and a headphone output complete it. Over the io you gain power, digital inputs and standby; under the Elex MK4 you give up the full-width chassis and its bigger supply. Note that the MK7 uses a new remote code and will not answer the Solaris handset.

In the press
I would challenge anyone to build something that has the authority and musical coherence that the Brio Mk7 displays for the same price.
The Ear(UK)·20 March 2025
This is a truly lovely sounding amplifier that delivers a performance that is very hard to match at the price point.

Measured by what you get for the money, the amp is if anything even more attractive than its predecessor.
