Audient EVO 4 vs Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen

Both are audio interfaces, $129 against $139. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

The Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen reaches 100 dB on 552 of the 567 models here, the Audient EVO 4 on 543.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

9 headphones reach 100 dB on the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 4th gen but not on the Audient EVO 4 — Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Closed, Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire, Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Open, 6 more.

543 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.
