Innuos PULSE Mini?


any impressions on this unit?

appears to be a solid step into that streamer space above bluesound and the other popular entry level units

I spoke to the national sales person at Innuos last week and he said he thinks they are working on a specific power supply for the PulseMini that will look identical but he also said that it’s the exact same power supply offered for the Innuos Zen Mini .

that casework looks a little different.

I imagine a quality 12V/5A supply would only help but that the purpose built Innuos unit would be best

 

I think you can use the zen mini power supply as an upgrade. Any other word on where this might be available? 

The mini is great without a lpsu, using just the supplied smps. Used a Sbooster botw p&p power supply, , and the results were phenomenal. Found out Innuos says there is no warranty support if power supply is found  to be at fault. Sent it back to the dealer.  Went with a zenmini lpsu as advised by the company. Am waiting for delivery, ordered one last week. But, yeah you gonna wanna save and get the lpsu.

yes the Zen Mini power supply works and is recommended by Innuos.

I was just sharing that they are planning to release the same supply in a case that more closely matches the PulseMini visually at some point.  The sales manager didn’t have a date on that.  And the Zen Mini supply isn’t that different looking

Here's another recent review of the Mano ULTRA mkIII Farad Music Streamer:-

I have a Innuos Zenith and the Phoenix Network and USB on my main system. For my secondary system, I am strongly tempted to not try other streamers where the connection to the DAC is via I2S, and not as expensive as devices on the Innuos ecosystem. 

The Holo Audio Red streamer is another option. It can serve as a DDC or a streamer. 

Any updates on your end as to where you are now on your streamer journey? It sure is going to be a long journey ... LOL.
