Listening
For listening, the Rega’s internal DAC was used. This is what most buyers will do, and it gives the best picture of what Rega offers with the Elicit.
The listening notes are divided into classical music and pop/rock. The reason for this is that the appreciation for what the Elicit does varies quite a bit between these types of music.
