Both are desktop amplifiers, $350 against $279. 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 Asgard 3 reaches 100 dB on 567 of the 567 models here, the Lake People G103-S Mk II on 566.
| Specification | Lake People G103-S Mk II | Schiit Asgard 3 |

| Power into 150Ω | 804 mW | 972 mW |
| Power into 300Ω | 580 mW | 600 mW |
| Power into 600Ω | 340 mW | 300 mW |
| Output impedance | 0.1 Ω | 0.2 Ω |
| Output noise | 6.15 µV | 1.5 µV unverified |
| Price | $350 | $279 |
| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 566 | 567 |
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.
1 headphone reaches 100 dB on the Schiit Asgard 3 but not on the Lake People G103-S Mk II — Symphonium Titan.
566 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.
Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Lake People G103-S Mk II and Schiit Asgard 3. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
