The FiiO FA19 is 10Ω at 106.0 dB/mW; the FiiO FD11 is 24Ω at 111.0 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 FA19 needs 5.0 dB more than the FD11 to reach the same loudness — 0.25 mW against 0.08 mW.
| Specification | FA19 | FD11 |
|---|---|---|
| Impedance | 10 Ω | 24 Ω |
| Sensitivity | 106.0 dB/mW | 111.0 dB/mW |
| Sensitivity (voltage) | 126.0 dB/V | 127.2 dB/V |
| Power for 100 dB | 0.25 mW | 0.08 mW |
| Voltage for 100 dB | 50 mV | 44 mV |
| Current for 100 dB | 5.0 mA | 1.8 mA |
| Highest source impedance that leaves them alone (one-eighth rule) | 1.25 Ω | 3.00 Ω |
| Sources that reach 100 dB out of 280 | 280 | 280 |
Every source in the database that drives one of them drives the other. On power, the choice between these two changes nothing about what amplifier you need.
8 sources are low enough in output impedance for the FD11 under the one-eighth rule but not for the FA19 (FiiO KA13, Schiit Vali 2+, Astell&Kern HC3, 5 more).
2 sources stay below the audible-hiss threshold with the FA19 but cross it with the FD11 (Grace Design m900, FiiO K17).
280 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: FiiO FA19 and FiiO FD11. Every figure on this page comes from what FiiO published, or is derived from it — what that maker publishes, counted.
