The Kinera Loki Divine Mark is 14Ω at 105.0 dB (no reference unit printed); the Kinera Mimisbrunnr is 43Ω at 88.3 dB/mW. This page covers what they ask of an amplifier, not how they sound.
The Mimisbrunnr needs 16.7 dB more than the Loki Divine Mark to reach the same loudness — 15 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.
3 of the 280 sources have the power for the Loki Divine Mark but not for the Mimisbrunnr — Apple USB-C dongle (EU), Steinberg UR22C, Sony NW-A306.
5 sources are low enough in output impedance for the Mimisbrunnr under the one-eighth rule but not for the Loki Divine Mark (Schiit Vali 2+, Astell&Kern HC3, Shanling H5, 2 more).
5 sources stay below the audible-hiss threshold with the Mimisbrunnr but cross it with the Loki Divine Mark (FiiO BTR11, FiiO K11 R2R, Lake People G111 Mk II, 2 more).
277 of the 280 sources here reach 100 dB on both.
The Mimisbrunnr is more demanding than 96% of the 567 non-electrostatic models in this database; the Loki Divine Mark than 20%.

| Source | Price | Headroom, Loki Divine Mark | Headroom, Mimisbrunnr | Output impedance | Noise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JadeAudio JA11 | $20 | 16.2 dB | 1.8 dB | 0.5 Ω | 1.7 µV |
| FiiO KA11 | $29 | 28.3 dB | 10.0 dB | 0.7 Ω | 1.7 µV |
| FiiO BTR13 | $59 | 25.2 dB | 7.0 dB | 0.6 Ω | 1.0 µV |
Of the 280 sources here, 277 reach 100 dB on both. 65 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 65 is the JadeAudio JA11, at $20. It leaves 16.2 dB of headroom on the Loki Divine Mark and 1.8 dB on the Mimisbrunnr, its output impedance is 0.5 Ω against a one-eighth limit of 1.75 Ω and 5.38 Ω, and its noise figure puts the hiss floor 12 dB and 33 dB below the 20 dB SPL this site treats as the point where a quiet room stops hiding it.
| Model | As printed | Tolerance | Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loki Divine Mark | 20Hz - 50kHz ultra-wideband | not printed | not printed |
| Mimisbrunnr | 20Hz – 40kHz | not printed | not printed |
Kinera prints 20Hz - 50kHz ultra-wideband for the Loki Divine Mark and 20Hz – 40kHz for the Mimisbrunnr.
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 Loki Divine Mark and Kinera Mimisbrunnr. 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.
