Rogue Audio's RH-5 is a headphone amplifier and line-level preamplifier whose hybrid circuitry includes MOSFET transistors and two 12AU7 tubes (ECC82s can also be used). It has an output impedance of <0.1 ohm at 1kHz, and outputs 3.5Wpc into 32 ohms.

It has two studio-grade headphone jacks, each combining a ΒΌ" phone jack and a three-pin XLR jack. To their right is a four-pin, balanced XLR jack. The RH-5 permits the simultaneous use of two pairs of headphones.

This amp has such a clean and transparent sound, but never sounds dry or boring. It pairs beautifully with just about any headphone you can throw at it, including the notoriously hard-to-drive HifiMan Susvara.
