Wish I'd waited. I never listen to the ripped CDs on my Zenith
Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners
I’ve been in touch with Nuno Vitorino at Innuos, and he tells me that the new Pulsar network streamer should be better than my current ZENith + PhoenixUSB reclocker. The Pulsar has an upgraded power supply and includes a “PhoenixUSB Lite”. Nuno says the Pulsar should offer streaming performance on par with the Statement. He also mentioned that the Statement with the Next-Gen power supply is better still, but it is almost three times the cost of the Pulsar…
Since I exclusively stream, this makes sense to me, if the Pulsar is in fact better. After selling my ZENith Mk3, and my PhoenixUSB, along with one power cord and a USB cable, this upgrade should almost be cost-neutral. Plus, my system would get to lose one box, and would also lose two cables, which is really nice as things are getting rather chaotic behind my system.
Innuos is sending a demo Pulsar to my local dealer (who is not even an Innuos dealer) so I can try at home. Hopefully it works out.
Great company and great support….

Well, like I mentioned it’s kind of not too late…. After selling your two boxes and extra cords this upgrade weirdly doesn’t cost a whole lot. Still, I’m going to see how the Pulsar performs in my system before committing. I’m also curious if my PhoenixUSB adds anything when used with the Pulsar. I didn’t ask; I figure I can simply try it. I’m hoping it adds little to nothing so I get to sell it and the two extra cords!
