I’m referring to the rnhp
You might be confusing the original RNHP (pro model) with the re-cased Fidelice RNHP.

Must be what I’m thinking… sorry for the confusion

No worries. I returned one of my RNHP’s after the Fidelice announcement hedging that there’d be significant changes, but I was wrong. Same specs but more than double the cost unfortunately.

Crazy, isn’t it? It’ll have to come down in price. People will just buy the rnhp like most have here.
They should have made it a true balanced amp to charge that.

Aimed at a different market, compared to the cost of the Fedelice DAC (which is apparently quite good), the amp is very cheap.

@Rhodey, I think they’ll release a balanced version in the future, but for significantly more than the current Fidelice RNHP. I’m guessing an MSRP of $2500-3000.
@Polygonhell, Definitely geared towards a hi-end consumer market.

Yeah but taking an rnhp, slapping a different case on it, and then doubling the price is calling your audience fools.
But I agree, people will buy it but they’d sell more around the $700 range. I like the look of it and I’d probably pay a little more for the fidelice case.

There are apparently some changes, but they aren’t sonically very different.

Yeah, I saw that somewhere.
Listening to the two side by side, it’s not worth lol, just get the rnhp

Right, but I think they’ll have to bring the price down unless they stop selling the rnhp. Or sell both but the fidelice have a $200 up charge due to the case.
I’d rather sell 200 units at a $200 up charge than a few with a $500 difference. Imo you want to move more units.
Here is what I think. I think if they either made the field lice rnhp balanced or shoved a dac in there it would justify the 2x price increase

A Rupert Neve Dac/amp for $1200… 
Yep, for sure. Shit, just balanced with the new case and without the dac I could see 1k. Not the same damn thing basically at 1k.

What if i use a xlr splitter on my SU8 to my RNHP and SP200? will that effect sound quality?
Yes, but not noticeably if you have a decent quality splitter
Mrsp 4.995 for the Rupert Neve Precision DAC.
