Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Stereo Receiver

Hear the Biggest-Value Stereo Receiver on the Market: Outlaw Audio RR2160 MkII Features True 110Wpc Output, Extraordinary Connectivity, MM/MC Phonostage, and Extremely Satisfying Sound

The best overall value in high-end audio? In the field of stereo receivers, the Outlaw Audio RR2160MkII stands alone. The successor the original model praised by Stereophile, Sound & Vision, CNET, SoundStage!, and many other high-end press outlets, RR2160 MkII wraps features, build quality, and performance up in a tidy Wi-Fi-equipped package that is a joy to hear and addictive to use. Expressly designed for two-channel music reproduction and for listeners who really want to listen, RR2160MkII hits all the right notes. 

Providing a true 110Wpc into eight ohms, the 5.75 x 17.1 x 16.5-inch (HWD) component contains a solid MM/MC phono preamplifier with gain-selectable settings, Burr-Brown DAC, Internet radio, and headphone input to cover digital and analog needs — as well as private listening options. On the front panel, tone controls, a USB input, auxiliary input, external loop, a mute button, and speaker EQ add to the versatility. 

Ditto the ability to connect two pairs of speakers via robust terminals on the back panel, which is also home to two trigger outputs, a pre-out, IR input/out, and Ethernet input. Four line-level analog inputs, two coaxial and two optical inputs, two record-output jacks, and main amp inputs are also at your disposal. A pair of subwoofer outputs with two-way bass management selectors? They’re here, too. RR2160 MkII really has all the basic connectivity most anyone could desire. Even streaming capability via a phone app.

And it plays with a big, neutral, dynamic sound. For that, credit a customized power-amp section with separate circuit boards for each channel, a robust transformer, and other audiophile-quality touches. The latter extend to the hefty chassis and supplied remote control, as well as the retro-inspired looks.
