Step up From Rogue RP-5

Hello, first time poster here. 
My system currently consists of Rogue Audio RP-5, Rogue MP-180 Monoblocks, denafrips Venus II DAC with Focal Sopra n2 speakers. That upgrade itch is there :)  I’m curious about the ARC LS28SE  also its big brother the 6SE in comparison. I like the price of the LS28SE more of course, but wonder what you give up from the 6SE. 
Love to hear your thoughts. 
Cheers!

Thanks Craig! I should consider the RP-9. I’d like to know peoples experiences with it.

Has anyone tried the Rogue RH-5 as a preamp? I know it is sold mainly as a headphone amp but it has both balanced and unbalanced outputs as well as line level inputs.

@audibleguy 

yes, i had the RH 5 strictly as a linestage and absolutely loved it, should have kept it.   extremely dynamic, neutral and transparent with a big tube soundstage.  using the balanced connections sounded best.  switchable gain was very useful.  

i liked the sound much better than the RP 7 i sold it for.
