Tanchjim LUNA vs Tanchjim Space

Both are dongles, $140 against $70. 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 Tanchjim LUNA reaches 100 dB on 565 of the 567 models here, the Tanchjim Space 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

4 headphones reach 100 dB on the Tanchjim LUNA but not on the Tanchjim Space — Moondrop COSMO, Symphonium Crimson, Symphonium Helios, 1 more.

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.

Both pages in full

Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Tanchjim LUNA and Tanchjim Space. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
