The Kinera Freya Vanir is 16Ω at 88.0 dB/mW; the Kinera Nott Phantom is 54Ω at 105.0 dB (no reference unit printed). 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 Freya Vanir needs 17.0 dB more than the Nott Phantom to reach the same loudness — 16 mW against 0.32 mW.
| Specification | Freya Vanir | Nott Phantom |
|---|---|---|
| Impedance | 16 Ω | 54 Ω |
| Sensitivity | 88.0 dB/mW | 105.0 dB |
| Sensitivity (voltage) | 106.0 dB/V | 117.7 dB/V |
| Power for 100 dB | 16 mW | 0.32 mW |
| Voltage for 100 dB | 0.50 V | 0.13 V |
| Current for 100 dB | 31.5 mA | 2.4 mA |
| Highest source impedance that leaves them alone (one-eighth rule) | 2.00 Ω | 6.75 Ω |
| Sources that reach 100 dB out of 280 | 262 | 280 |
One caution before reading the rows. Kinera Nott Phantom 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 Nott Phantom but not for the Freya Vanir — Apple USB-C dongle (US), Apple USB-C dongle (EU), JadeAudio JA11, 15 more.
1 source is low enough in output impedance for the Nott Phantom under the one-eighth rule but not for the Freya Vanir (Shanling H5).
262 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: Kinera Freya Vanir and Kinera Nott Phantom. 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.
