Roland Rubix44 vs Universal Audio Volt 476P

Both are audio interfaces, $432 against $589. 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 Universal Audio Volt 476P reaches 100 dB on 558 of the 567 models here, the Roland Rubix44 on 542.

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

16 headphones reach 100 dB on the Universal Audio Volt 476P but not on the Roland Rubix44 — Audeze LCD-5, Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Closed, Dan Clark Audio AEON 2 Noire, 13 more.

542 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.
