The Kinera Freya Vanir is 16Ω at 88.0 dB/mW; the Kinera Loki Divine Mark is 14Ω at 105.0 dB (no reference unit printed). This page covers what they ask of an amplifier, not how they sound.
The Freya Vanir needs 17.0 dB more than the Loki Divine Mark to reach the same loudness — 16 mW against 0.32 mW.

One caution before reading the rows. Kinera Loki Divine Mark printed a decibel figure with no reference unit, so this page reads it as per milliwatt. If it is really per volt, that model needs far more than the table says. Why the two readings differ by so much.
18 of the 280 sources have the power for the Loki Divine Mark but not for the Freya Vanir — Apple USB-C dongle (US), Apple USB-C dongle (EU), JadeAudio JA11, 15 more.
4 sources are low enough in output impedance for the Freya Vanir under the one-eighth rule but not for the Loki Divine Mark (Schiit Vali 2+, Astell&Kern HC3, RME Fireface UFX II, 1 more).
5 sources stay below the audible-hiss threshold with the Freya Vanir but cross it with the Loki Divine Mark (FiiO BTR11, FiiO K11 R2R, Lake People G111 Mk II, 2 more).
262 of the 280 sources here reach 100 dB on both.
The Freya Vanir is more demanding than 87% of the 567 non-electrostatic models in this database; the Loki Divine Mark than 20%.

| Source | Price | Headroom, Freya Vanir | Headroom, Loki Divine Mark | Output impedance | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FiiO KA11 | $29 | 11.9 dB | 28.3 dB | 0.7 Ω | 1.7 µV |
| FiiO BTR13 | $59 | 8.8 dB | 25.2 dB | 0.6 Ω | 1.0 µV |
| iBasso DC03 Pro | $69 | 4.9 dB | 21.3 dB | 0.12 Ω | 0.9 µV |
Of the 280 sources here, 262 reach 100 dB on both. 64 of them also publish an output impedance low enough for both under the one-eighth rule and a noise figure that stays below the audible-hiss threshold with both.
The cheapest of the 64 is the FiiO KA11, at $29. It leaves 11.9 dB of headroom on the Freya Vanir and 28.3 dB on the Loki Divine Mark, its output impedance is 0.7 Ω against a one-eighth limit of 2.00 Ω and 1.75 Ω, and its noise figure puts the hiss floor 29 dB and 12 dB below the 20 dB SPL this site treats as the point where a quiet room stops hiding it.
| Model | As printed | Tolerance | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freya Vanir | 20Hz – 20kHz | not printed | not printed |
| Loki Divine Mark | 20Hz - 50kHz ultra-wideband | not printed | not printed |
Kinera prints 20Hz – 20kHz for the Freya Vanir and 20Hz - 50kHz ultra-wideband for the Loki Divine Mark.
Loki Divine Mark: Kinera prints “ultra-wideband” inside the specification cell, next to the numbers and in place of the tolerance that would have said what the range means.
Neither range has a tolerance printed beside it, so a wider range on one sheet is not deeper bass or more treble.
Not a measurement; maker by maker.
Both have a page of their own. In full: Kinera Freya Vanir and Kinera Loki Divine Mark. Each figure on this page is labelled on those pages with where it came from, including the ones Kinera never published — what that maker publishes, counted.
