Hi all, I'm looking for help to interpret specs and measurements of two pieces of gear that I already own. Both have DAC capability and headphone out, but which one is better on paper/measurements for the headphone out?
  • Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen3
  • Native Instruments Kontrol Z1

The NI Kontrol Z1 doesnt have any measurements I can find, I only know the specs which are these:

Which one should be better for my headphone, the Sennheiser HD25?:
