About the RH5
The Rogue Audio RH-5 headphone amplifier utilizes a two tube mu-follower design with 2 x 12AU7/ECC82 tubes and high current MOSFET buffered outputs delivering 3.5 watts into 32 ohms. It offers three pairs of RCA inputs, one balanced XLR input, and headphone outputs via 3-pin and 4-pin fully balanced connectors plus two 1/4" TSR headphone jacks for shared listening. The unit includes selectable gain settings for high, medium, or low sensitivity headphones and an OLED display for settings and volume, which can be dimmed or turned off. It also functions as a stereo preamplifier with balanced and single-ended outputs and has an optional MM/MC phono stage with adjustable gain and loading options. The RH-5 is hand-built in the USA, comes with a 3-year limited warranty (6 months on tubes), and is praised for its spacious, dynamic soundstage, excellent transparency, and musicality, especially with headphones like the Sennheiser HD800.
