Hi, I have the Mini and stream Tidal, Qbuzz, and internet radio. You can search radio by genre or station name in the Sence app. I listen to Radio Paradise and .1FM as I find the sound quality very good. I have a TeraDak Chinese made LPS that cost about $200. While not the quality of the Teddy Pardo or others, it still produced a nice increase in sound quality. I put the money saved towards a Wireworld Starlight Platinum usb cable. I bought all of the above used and have a total of $1100 in the three items. Unfortunately I am cost restricted and after having the Mini, I definitely want the Pulse. I’ve used the included DAC but find my Schiit Yiggy and even my old Bifrost a significant improvement too. Regards, Mike B.
questions about Innuos Pulse Mini streamer usage
Hi,
I am thinking about buying Innuos Pulse Mini streamer
That will be my first digital streamer
Would you please answer:
1) When I receive digital stream over ethernet port does all available outputs are active - can I use simultaneously coax out, toslink out, usb out, all connected to various dacs
2) How can I tune In to a specific stream to listen to Internet radio station
3) Is there a noticeable Improve In sound If you upgrade stock power adapter with LPS. If yes, what are you using with good effect.

Yes , I’m using the Pulse Mini as an external streamer. I have 2 DAC’s and they both better the internal DAC in the Pulse Mini. To answer your question about the internet channels, the Planet Rock channel I found was in Germany. I searched “ Planet Rock “ and had 7-8 hits, but none from UK. There are hundreds of channels and some are quit good in terms of content and a few have very good sound quality. You might email Innuos support regarding that exact channel. I’ve used their support and they’re outstanding. So overall I’d say the unit is worth buying. An LPS is a noticeable improvement, and for a modest system the DAC is adequate. The Sense app works great, and it’s a good platform to build upon. I’d recommend it over the Bluesound Node and the Project Streambox Ultra II. Regards, Mike B. |
Mike, thank you very much for support When you say you searched for specified Internet station - you are doing this using Sense app, Is that correct? I am Interested If there Is an option where we can put manually already valid stream without using results of search from Sense which can be limited. For example google some stream which Is working OK and then type down to a Sense app and listen to Merry Christmas to all |
@sasho just checked the Sense app (I don't stream radio very often at all apart from Radio Paradise, so needed to chk), there is a field in the "Radio" section of the app where you can type or Copy and Paste a URL/web address of a streaming radio station and access this way Apologies if this isn't what you meant 😊
