Upgrade from Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii to Innuos Pulse

I'm thinking of upgrading my Zen Mini to the Pulse.

Has anyone made the same move/upgrade, and was there a significant improvement. (I have the Innuos LPSU powering the Zen Mini)

I'm using the Sense App; I have used my Zen Mini as a Roon Core on and off, but always find myself going back to the Sense App, despite the various features Roon provides. I just prefer Sense; I don't think there's a lot in it SQ-wise, for me, Sense feels a little more natural.

Anyway, this isn't about Roon 😊, I mention it as i'd obviously be losing the Roon Core option with the Pulse, but it isn't a problem. (Actually, if I don't sell the Zen Mini, I maybe able to use it as Roon Core but connected on my home network away from my system, I think?).

So to the point, I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has made the same move/upgrade mentioned 👍

Thanks guys 😊

Got a better idea for you consider a 432evo server

 

We have models priced similarly and you can upgrade to a gigher end model anytime to a higher end model

Our Aeon model sounded as good as a statement for a third of its price

 

Weare a full Roon core and Endpoint in one box and we are designed to run Roon

Hi guys,

I posted this back in August originally; now the Innuos Pulse line-up has had more time out in the wild, I'm looking to anyone who has made the move from Zen mini mkiii W/Innuos LPS, to the Pulse?

Was the upgrade worth it, in terms of SQ?

Just for reference, my Zen mini feeds the Cen Grenade Super Clock (USB), through Marantz Model 30 -> ATC SCM40. All electronics fed by the Puritan Audio Labs PSM156

Thanks guys 👍

I can't remember,  but does Innuous have a return policy? I have the Zenith MK3 and it's excellent. I'm sure that the Pulse would be a hugh improvement over your Zen.

I’m wondering how the Pulsar compares to the Zenith mk3.
