The RP-5 v2 required a fairly long break-in period before it sounded its best. So please be patient with it. I do wish the upgraded remote was the included remote but the one that comes with it worked fine and is probably pretty reliable. I wanted to hang on to the review unit to toss around the idea of purchasing it, but Rogue has asked me to return it so they can upgrade the firmware as this was a very early production unit. This should resolve an issue where the display would freeze and the only way to fix it was through a power reset.

This preamplifier may not be for everyone, but its build quality and musical prowess make it a must- audition for anybody in the market for a new preamplifier. I may very well request one for purchase in the coming weeks. Either way, I will always remember this as a fun and fluidly musical component that is highly flexible with its myriad hook-up options, phono stage, and headphone amp.
