Audient iD14 MkII vs M-Audio AIR 192|14

Both are audio interfaces, $349 against $329. 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 M-Audio AIR 192|14 reaches 100 dB on 563 of the 567 models here, the Audient iD14 MkII on 561.

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

2 headphones reach 100 dB on the M-Audio AIR 192|14 but not on the Audient iD14 MkII — Moondrop COSMO, Symphonium Zenith.

561 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.
