To pack such performance into this price point, Rega has, as with most of its amplifiers, stuck with analogue-only connections with the io. Analogue-only is common at this end of the market, and so the io sports two line-level inputs – two fewer than its step-up sibling the Brio – and a moving-magnet phono input, so you can hook up a turntable as well as a couple of other components such as a CD player and streamer.
A 3.5mm headphone jack completes the io’s fairly modest connectivity list. It sits on the front panel alongside a volume dial and a small plastic button that cycles through the inputs. The amp’s plastic front panel gives it a pretty unremarkable aesthetic. In this respect, Rega certainly isn’t trying to hide the fact that most of its efforts have gone into the performance.
The compact, half-width aluminium chassis feels well built – the same goes for the satisfyingly simple remote control – and its low-key design should suit some hi-fi traditionalists.
Punchy dynamics
The discrepancies between Rega’s two half-width boxes in terms of physical size and decorative refinement is more or less mirrored in their sonic differences.

While the Ult button might be unnecessary on headphones, it makes sense on a portable outdoor speaker like the Field 1.
