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

Have heard good things about the Pro-Jest RS2T CDT with its next-gen CD system. Do share your findings if you are able!

I too am a lucky CD Transport owner - I’ve got the Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 - and I’d assume the Pro-Ject is delivering similar great sound. For streaming, I use a SoTM SMS200 Ultra network streamer. It’s a very high quality network streamer that won’t break the bank. Unlike the Innos, there is no App, you must use a music app on your computer to direct the streams to the device. But it works with a huge number of different software choices. I use Roon and it’s great, especially with HQ Player working directly inside Roon.

Streaming from Qobuz, or my CD rips is very very good - but I still prefer the sound of my CDs through the Jay’s Audio transport.

Who knew CDs could sound great with a good transport and an excellent DAC.

@whodiini I don’t think you’re gonna get any direct comparisons, but the Sense app (that’s always getting upgraded for sound/performance) gets very high marks as do Innuos streamers so I’m thinking you’re gonna be pretty darn happy.  Also, eventually upgrading the power supply on the Pulse Mini should give you a significant upgrade opportunity in the future.  Let us know what you think if you can.
