The definitive Rega integrated amplifier — analogue heart, modern flexibility
Rega Brio Product Introduction
The Rega Brio MK7 is the latest generation of one of Rega’s most iconic products.
For decades, the Brio has been a reference point for what an integrated amplifier should be: musical, honest, powerful enough for real loudspeakers, and free from unnecessary complexity.
With the MK7 generation, Rega preserves the Brio’s analogue soul while carefully adding modern digital capability, making it more versatile than ever — without compromising musical integrity.
At Authentic High End, the Brio MK7 is often the amplifier we recommend when clients want one box that does almost everything right.
Positioning Within Rega
The Brio MK7 sits directly above the io and remains the cornerstone of the Rega amplifier range.
It is designed for:
vinyl-first listeners
mixed analogue & digital systems
small to medium-sized listening rooms
music lovers who want long-term satisfaction from a single component
It is the most balanced expression of Rega’s philosophy at a realistic system level.
Design Philosophy: Analogue First, Digital Done Right
Rega’s priority with the Brio MK7 remains unchanged:
the analogue signal path comes first.
The amplifier is built around:
a fully discrete analogue amplification stage
short, carefully routed signal paths
a robust linear power supply
Digital functionality is added only where it does not interfere with the analogue core — and is fully isolated within the design.
Integrated DAC (New for the Brio)
The Brio MK7 includes a built-in DAC with two digital inputs, allowing direct connection of modern sources such as:
network streamers
CD transports
televisions
This makes the Brio MK7 a genuine hub for contemporary systems, without the need for an external DAC in many setups.
Importantly, the DAC is implemented with Rega’s listening-led discipline: clean, musical and unobtrusive, rather than feature-driven.
Built-In MM Phono Stage
True to Rega tradition, the Brio MK7 features a high-quality moving magnet phono stage, derived from Rega’s standalone designs.
The phono input offers:
This makes the Brio MK7 a natural partner for Rega Planar turntables, enabling a full analogue system with minimal boxes.
Power Delivery & Loudspeaker Control
The Brio MK7 delivers real-world power and current, prioritising musical control over headline numbers.
Rega focuses on:
stable behaviour into real loudspeaker loads
grip and timing rather than sheer force
confidence at normal listening levels
As a result, the Brio MK7 sounds composed, dynamic and rhythmically assured with a wide range of speakers.
Listening Experience
The Rega Brio MK7 sounds:
lively and rhythmically engaging
open and transparent without harshness
dynamically confident
emotionally involving over long sessions
Music feels purposeful and coherent, with a strong sense of flow that encourages whole-album listening rather than track hopping.
Build Quality & Everyday Use
The Brio MK7 reflects Rega’s focus on durability and usability:
compact aluminium chassis
clean, understated design
high-quality front-panel controls
supplied remote control
headphone output for private listening
It is designed to be a daily-use amplifier, not a fragile audiophile artefact.
System Integration
The Brio MK7 integrates effortlessly into a wide range of systems:
perfect match with Rega Planar turntables
ideal for mixed vinyl and streaming setups
suitable for compact to medium-sized loudspeakers
At Authentic High End, the Brio MK7 is often the amplifier we recommend when clients want maximum musical return with minimal system complexity.
Why We Selected the Brio MK7 at Authentic High End
We selected the Brio MK7 because it captures exactly what Rega does best:
It is an amplifier that grows with its owner — not one that needs replacing every few years.
