The AKG K702 is 62Ω at 92.9 dB/mW; the Dan Clark Audio Expanse is 26Ω at 90.0 dB/mW. This page is only about what they ask of an amplifier — not how they sound, which no specification on either sheet can tell you.
The Dan Clark Audio Expanse needs 2.9 dB more than the AKG K702 to reach the same loudness — 10 mW against 5.1 mW.
| Specification | AKG K702 | Dan Clark Audio Expanse |
|---|---|---|
| Impedance | 62 Ω | 26 Ω |
| Sensitivity | 92.9 dB/mW | 90.0 dB/mW |
| Sensitivity (voltage) | 105.0 dB/V | 105.9 dB/V |
| Power for 100 dB | 5.1 mW | 10 mW |
| Voltage for 100 dB | 0.56 V | 0.51 V |
| Current for 100 dB | 9.1 mA | 19.6 mA |
| Highest source impedance that leaves them alone (one-eighth rule) | 7.75 Ω | 3.25 Ω |
| Sources that reach 100 dB out of 280 | 280 | 279 |
1 of the 280 sources has the power for the AKG K702 but not for the Dan Clark Audio Expanse — Steinberg UR22C.
1 source is low enough in output impedance for the AKG K702 under the one-eighth rule but not for the Dan Clark Audio Expanse (Shanling H5).
279 of the 280 sources here reach 100 dB on both. That count is about power only — the output-impedance and hiss lines above are separate questions, and a source can pass this one and fail those.
Each model has a page of its own with the full source list, the hiss estimate and the provenance of every figure above: AKG K702 and Dan Clark Audio Expanse. Every figure on this page comes from what AKG and Dan Clark Audio published, or is derived from it — what AKG publishes and what Dan Clark Audio publishes, both counted.
