Schiit Fulla 2 vs Audioengine D1

[Huck]

Not much out there regarding the Shiit Fulla 2 vs the Audioengine D1,so just wondering if anyone here has heard or owned both and would like to comment on it's sound quality,with either headphones or speakers.Thanks,Huck

They seems to measure similarly in regards to their dac chips, do you have any info on how much power the D1 puts out? I can't find that spec anywhere. It also seems they put out similar current so I'd imagine you pay more with the D1 for extra inputs and outputs

I'm talking about power. Energy over time in mW. The voltage looks good but the two things are different.

Audioengine doesn't specify the rating in mW, just like how some companies specify their sensitivity in dB SPL/V (ie Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic). I'd be easier to just convert the dB SPL/mW to dB SPL/V to find the voltage requirement.

That's weird. Senn still shows sensitivity from what I remember, it's just not in that format. It's annoying that Audioengine doesn't disclose a common and basic measurement. It's like BMW not disclosing what the volume of their X5 engine is.

dB SPL/V is still sensitivity, just rated in voltage required rather than power. Ohms law still applies.

So how does one decipher their spec sheet and figure out how many mW it puts into 35 ohms? 150 ohms? 300 ohms? You see how much easier it would be for them to just list these things like every other company I know power isn't everything but it should be considered, as should voltage and the headphone's sensitivity.

Well you couldn't even do that even if they did give it in dB SPL/mW unless they specified the impedance that the output power was measured at in the first place. Some manufacturers give out very little detail while others give out more. Luck of the draw I guess.
