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….

Thank you for the Innuous update. I own the Zenith IIi

and the Pheonix. Looking forward to your follow-up.

I’ll let you know how the test goes as soon as I get the demo - which may not be for some time; who knows how long it will take for them to send the demo Pulsar.  I will also have to break it it a good deal as well, as surely it will be a brand new unit.

For anyone interested in the Pulsar Innuos (Nuno) reached out to me with some bad news:  The availability of the Pulsar is delayed a LONG time due to parts shortages, and there is no timeline for when they will be ready…. Sadly I won’t be demoing one anytime soon!

A new Innuos Pulse owner shared his initial listening impressions. Very promising to say the least.
