Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar

Has anyone had the opportunity to A/B these? I own the Pulse and wonder whether the Pulsar is worth the upgrade and associated costs. Thanks!

This player is a beast! It’s gonna take a long while for me to need to scrape up some pennies for an upgrade.

I had upgraded from the node 2i. It was immediate. All facets of the music and recording improved by quite a bit. I only had time to listen to a couple songs. Innuous is the real deal. Wish I could do the DAC but funds...

The Pulsar is a significant step up from the Zenith 3 sonically. Based on my experience with Innuos each time you upgrade you really do experience a nice sonic improvement.
