Fosi Audio SK02 vs Schiit Magni Heresy

Both are desktop amplifiers, $100 against $99. 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 Schiit Magni Heresy reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 models here, the Fosi Audio SK02 on 564.

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

3 headphones reach 100 dB on the Schiit Magni Heresy but not on the Fosi Audio SK02 — Moondrop PARA, Symphonium Crimson, Symphonium Titan.

564 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.
