Both are audio interfaces, $250 against $249. 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 Tascam US-4x4HR reaches 100 dB on 553 of the 567 models here, the Focusrite Vocaster Two on 550.
| Specification | Focusrite Vocaster Two | Tascam US-4x4HR |
|---|---|---|
| Power into 32Ω | 27 mW | 45 mW |
| Power into 150Ω | 10 mW | 36 mW |
| Power into 300Ω | 7.7 mW | 24 mW |
| Power into 600Ω | 3.8 mW | 14 mW |
| Output impedance | not published | 51.5 Ω |
| Output noise | not published | not published |
| Price | $250 | $249 |
| Headphones it reaches 100 dB on out of 567 | 550 | 553 |
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.
3 headphones reach 100 dB on the Tascam US-4x4HR but not on the Focusrite Vocaster Two — HiFiMAN Susvara Unveiled, Kinera Freya Vanir, Thieaudio Hype 10.
550 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.
Each has a page of its own with every power figure traced to what the maker published and a full headphone list: Focusrite Vocaster Two and Tascam US-4x4HR. Or put either against your own headphones in the source comparison tool.
