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

Really like Innuos but their sales and marketing leaves much to be desired. With the advent of Pulse and NG products it would be helpful to know how they stack up to one another comparing streaming and server SQ. The descriptions provided on their site have some detail but I have no idea how these features translate to SQ? I mean C'mon Innuos, help a brother out! Can we get a simple chart that shows features and SQ between models? After reading the info on Sense 3, I have no idea what the tangible benefits are to the user.

For my 30 seconds on their website came away with pulsar has same 300 V power supply thingy As the statement. The next GEN pro was, you could upgrade it to a zenith at a future point for even more improved sound quality.

Like @chilehed said, it would be nice if Innuos would clarify the benefits/weaknesses between their products. It truly is frustrating. Perhaps I will send them an email...
