I had a RH-5 in house for a couple of weeks. I think it represents Rogue's best value. You get a full preamp, balanced in and balanced out, AND a headphone amp. It has three levels of gain, adjustable from the front panel. I think the display could be nicer looking and the remote is cheesy. Still it costs exactly half the RP-7. Narrowly beaten out by a Backert. BTW it was utterly quiet on all three gain levels.
