Both are audio interfaces, $149 against $299. 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 PreSonus Studio 68c reaches 100 dB on 558 of the 567 models here, the PreSonus Studio 24c on 552.

| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 552 | 558 |
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.
6 headphones reach 100 dB on the PreSonus Studio 68c but not on the PreSonus Studio 24c — HiFiMAN HE-6se V2, HiFiMAN HE6 Remastered, HiFiMAN Susvara, 3 more.
552 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: PreSonus Studio 24c and PreSonus Studio 68c. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
