questions about Innuos Pulse Mini streamer usage


Hi,

I am thinking about buying Innuos Pulse Mini streamer

That will be my first digital streamer

Would you please answer:

1) When I receive digital stream over ethernet port does all available outputs are active - can I use simultaneously coax out, toslink out, usb out, all connected to various dacs

2) How can I tune In to a specific stream to listen to Internet radio station

3) Is there a noticeable Improve In sound If you upgrade stock power adapter with LPS. If yes, what are you using with good effect.

Hi Sasho,

I have the Zen Mini mkiii, not the Pulse but the premise should be the same:

You can use the outputs connected to various DACs, but the SENSE app has you select the output device/DAC you wish to stream to. So I don't think you can have streaming to multiple DACs simultaneously 

You can search for various internet radio streams from within the SENSE app

My Zen Mini mkiii sounds significantly better with the Innuos LPS ( I believe the current Innuos LPS is also compatible with the Pulse Mini)

Hope this helps, good luck with your search 👍 

Hi painter24,

thank you for reply

1) Looks like we can get only 1 output at the time

2) I do have Internet stream, Can I put It In sense app or web Interface without using Sense app searching function for radio stations

3) Would you please point out to mentioned Innuos LPS

The mini set up is about as Luddite as one can get. Just plug in the unit download the sense app follow the most basic of prompts and you’ll have music playing in about five minutes. Once you have the sense app up and running, it will be easier for you to find Internet Radio than it is for me to try to explain it to you on here. Enjoy your new toy. It’s gonna be a lot of fun. It was for me so much so I now have the Pulse. 

The Pulse Mini I don’t believe has an LPS so should benefit significantly from an upgrade there.  No need to buy the outrageously expensive $1100 Innuos LPS — I’d look at Teddy Pardo, SBooster, or LHY as all of these get stellar reviews from owners and will be closer to $400.  Hope this helps.
