Innuos Zen next-gen vs. Pulsar for streaming...?

Hi all,

The question is, has anyone had a chance to listen to both of these units and evaluate them on their streaming performance.  I've heard the Innuos Pulsar but haven't had the chance to hear the Zen next-gen streaming Qobuz or Tidal.  The Zen has additional capabilities (so it's not apples to apples) but I'm wondering if the big jump in price of the Zen next-gen improves the streaming performance over the Pulsar?

For the sake of the discussion only comments and opinions on these two units would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Rick

Hi guys.

3rd post but longtime lurker/reader.

I currently have a ZeniTH 3 and looking to upgrade to Pulsar or possibly one of the new NG range once my house sale and downsize is completed.

However my interest at this point is what DACs your using, I'm currently running a very heavily modded Black Ice DSD (VCap ODAM, AN Kensai, New ClassD etc)

My current thinking is to go for an Aqua La Scala mk3 Optologic due to its excellent USB or if funds are a tad lite then a Holo May L3 KTE.

I like a relaxed, organic, yet detailed presentation.
