Innuos PULSE Mini?

Lack of a screen of any kind, with basic streaming info, is weird (considering the price). No Roon Ready certification yet.

On another note, a dealer told me the PULSE (not the Mini) which he just received, sounds really good. 

I think having a separate line (Pulse) is a very smart idea. In addition to having the Zen line. For those who don't need a server or storage (don't use Roon, don't have local library). Keeps the cost down, focuses on streaming only, and does the (streaming) job. For those with a Zen (or Zennith, etc.), then of course, a Pulse is not needed. But if I were new on the market looking for a streamer alone, with no server, I would definitely be looking at the Pulse line.
