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

@grannyring Excellent observations.  I moved from Zenith MK3 to Zenith NG and found very little SQ improvements.  I will say this it sounds much better running Roon than on the MK3.  I think that's because its processor is more powerful?
