Rogue now introduces their first headphone amp/preamplifier, the RH-5 ($2495), which not only looks sleek and timeless in that oval-windowed Rogue way, it features three line-level RCA inputs and one pair of balanced XLR inputs. Used as a preamplifier, the RH-5 includes both balanced and single-ended outputs. Headphone outputs include 3- and 4-pin balanced XLR outputs, plus two 1/4" TSR headphone jacks, and…remote control!

The RH-5 has three faceplate-accessible gain settings. The RH-5 is a two-tube mu-follower design with high-current MOSFET-buffered outputs. Also available with an optional ($400) MM/MC phono stage.
