Step up From Rogue RP-5


Hello, first time poster here. 
My system currently consists of Rogue Audio RP-5, Rogue MP-180 Monoblocks, denafrips Venus II DAC with Focal Sopra n2 speakers. That upgrade itch is there :)  I’m curious about the ARC LS28SE  also its big brother the 6SE in comparison. I like the price of the LS28SE more of course, but wonder what you give up from the 6SE. 
Love to hear your thoughts. 
Cheers!

You may also want to check out the older Athena or Hera which are no longer produced.  It seems like a lot of people prefer them to the current offerings.

Thanks Craig! I should consider the RP-9. I’d like to know peoples experiences with it. 

Has anyone tried the Rogue RH-5 as a preamp? I know it is sold mainly as a headphone amp but it has both balanced and unbalanced outputs as well as line level inputs.
