Lehmann Audio Rhinelander: features
The Rhinelander has two RCA pairs for two distinctive inputs.
If you don't need a second input, by moving DIP switches, you can set it up in the output and use your Rhinelander headphone amp like a preamplifiier like on the Linear.
The gain is also adjustable. It is powered by a small plain wall-mounted unit.

In this respect, it can drive headphones with an impedance of 15 Ohms up to a half watt!
