With it's relatively high price tag they could have made it look more attractive.

No 4Ω rating. Judging from the beefy toroidal, this is probably due to the lack of a proper heatsink.

i got one myself and i had to go back to using my Cambridge Dac Magic 100, using the integrated DAC was unbereable, did someone test the dac? The curious thing is they both use the same chip, but man the difference...

One question, the previous model ELEX-R had the "issue" of popping sound when turned of, since there was no relais which prevents the signal (stored voltage of the circuit board) getting to the loudspeakers while turning off - has since been adressed with the ELEX MK4?

Or is there a (slight or louder?) popping sound when the amp is being turned off?

Thanks for sharing our feedback!

Very late to the party but just got a Fono MM MK5 and was looking at the Elex as next amp - the Fono definitely has that popping sound when you turn it off.
