Arturia AudioFuse Rev2 vs Arturia MiniFuse 2

Both are audio interfaces, $599 against $149. This page puts them side by side on the only three things a maker can be held to — power, output impedance and noise — and then asks the question that actually matters: which headphones do they treat differently?

The Arturia AudioFuse Rev2 reaches 100 dB on 564 of the 567 models here, the Arturia MiniFuse 2 on 562.

A figure marked not published is missing from the maker’s own material, which is not the same as being good or bad. Where one of these two publishes a number and the other does not, the comparison on that axis cannot be made at all — and saying so is more useful than guessing.

The headphones that tell them apart

2 headphones reach 100 dB on the Arturia AudioFuse Rev2 but not on the Arturia MiniFuse 2 — Moondrop COSMO, Symphonium Helios.

35 headphones are left alone by the Arturia MiniFuse 2 under the one-eighth rule but coloured by the Arturia AudioFuse Rev2 (AKG K612 Pro, Audeze LCD-3, Audeze LCD-4, 32 more).

562 of the 567 models here reach 100 dB on both. That is a power count and nothing more; whether either source suits a given headphone also depends on the two lines above.

Both pages in full

Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Arturia AudioFuse Rev2 and Arturia MiniFuse 2. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
