The Innuos Pulse series sounds quite interesting. Two additional models on the way, when? Intriguing development. There are those who seek a simple music streamer with high sound quality capabilities and do not need/require a music server. This is a wise move by Innuos. I hope they include coaxial output (RCA SPDIF/AES-EBU) and not limited to USB. Charles |
@charles1dad The PULSEmini has coaxial and toslink digital outputs in addition to USB. The PULSE, which is still to come sometime in 2023, is supposed to have an AES/EBU digital output, but there will be no internal DAC, so no RCA outputs. I'm not sure if they'll keep the coax and toslink or not. |
Thank you. This Pulse series has captured my attention so I was able to find additional information regarding them. High quality network player is exactly what I am seeking rather than a “music server “. My new DAC (Currently under construction) is an intentionally minimalist design with SPDIF input only. A network player with a SPDIF output would be ideal for me. Based on what I have been able to learn thus far, either the Pulse mini with optional LPS or the Pulse with onboard LPS is what I want. Of course I wonder what the sound quality gap between them may be. To be determined at some point. My Pro-Ject RS2T CD transport is yielding superb sound spinning discs. I’m seeking a similar level result when streaming Tidal/Qobuz/internet radio. I think that perhaps the Innuos may satisfy this desire. Charles

@charles1dad The PULSEmini may be the best option as I'm not sure if the PULSE will have coaxial digital output. I'm also excited to see what will be coming out for a linear power supply to match the Mini. |
