This product has now been superceded by the improved RNHP Fidelice Precision Headphone Amp - click here for details.

Whether you're a professional engineer surrounded by expensive studio equipment or a music lover with just a laptop on your desk or your phone on the go, the RNHP can make a huge difference in the performance of your headphones. While many people have expensive headphones that they use with their Hi-Fi system or mobile device, those headphones are incapable of reproducing all the dynamic range, detail, and spacial information within your music without the help of an exceptional amplifier. With the direct coupled, painstakingly crafted topologies, the RNHP will give you a level of performance you would not think possible at this price point.

From the studio to your living room

With effortless, wide-open sonic performance and the ability to drive any pair of headphones without compromise, the RNHP allows you to perform, mix and enjoy your music with a new level of clarity.

Extract the best from your headphones


Rupert Neve RNHP


The RNHP was made to accomplish one simple purpose: making any headphones sound their best. As a dedicated design, the RNHP is tailored to deliver extremely high quality, powerful amplification, with precise calibration for any source input. This exceptional level of quality can be the difference that inspires an artist to give their best performance, lets an engineer make better choices in mic and placement, gives a mix engineer reliable translation of EQ and dynamics adjustments, or lets a music listener appreciate the full depth and detail of a recording.

Why we are selling the RNHP.

Rupert Neve RNHP


The decision to sell the RNHP came in response to Simon's visit to Canjam London back in September 2016 - see his review here. He was so impressed with the performance of this little amp that he asked for a sample to test back at the office. Everyone else was impressed too so we then took it to the National Audio Show for more feedback. Once again, the news was good, with really positive comments from both visitors and reviewers. Russ also had his first opportunity to test the unit out as well and was equally impressed. All told, with so many positive comments, we decided we just had to offer this superb little headphone amp to our customers.
