Lehmann Audio Rhinelander (black)

Despite its down-to-earth nature as an entry-level model, this ambitious headphone amplifier opens up a whole new world of music enjoyment. The Rhinelander is completely in the high-end tradition of Lehmannaudio products. With its superior features, it clearly stands out from other devices in its price class.

If you have been skeptical about headphones so far, the Rhinelander will convince you otherwise. From now on, using headphones will never be a compromise to preserve domestic peace, but a pleasurable way to indulge your passion for music. Super low-noise, transparent, and with impressive performance potential, you can expect an addictive sound experience.

Your first step into the world of headphone amplifiers: The sonic similarity with the reference unit Linear is due to the selected high-quality components and the sophisticated circuit architecture. The Rhinelander features a powerful, discrete Class A transistor output stage with no overshoot-over-coupling, providing enough power reserves for most common headphones while delivering impressive transparency of your favorite sounds.

An impressive all-rounder: Our entry-level model is also equipped with numerous other audiophile components, including low-loss MKP capacitors for the audio path and a double-sided circuit board for optimal layout. Low-ESR capacitors in the power supply, an integrated voltage amplifier stage, and a Neutrik headphone jack also optimize this audiophile device. The volume controls are hand-selected to ensure a high degree of synchronism and to keep the locating as stable as on the recording.

In addition, the Rhinelander is equipped with two inputs and input selection via a high-quality relay. It also performs well as a high-quality single-source preamplifier, with the single-source preamp mode set as standard. Such a sophisticated construction with selected components is unique in a headphone amplifier of this price class.
