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.

There is at least one member here who is using the Zen LPS with the Pulse mini:

@mgw that does not make sense. The unit requires a DC power input. It would not matter whether it comes from a switching power supply or linear power supply as long as it stays within the spec.

@peter_s @sasho pointed out, it is not the same spec as the Zem Mini added to which there is no mention of the LPS on the Innuos page for the Pulse Mini whereas it is a specific option on the Zen Mini page.

If it were me interested in the Pulse Mini I'd ask a dealer.

Just had a quick look on the Innuos forum, read into this what you will:

This was on the INNOUS website for the Zen mini MKII. LPSU   

LPSU features:

• Nichicon MUSE Capacitors
• Medical-grade Mains Filtering
• Chassis design to perfectly match the ZENmini Mk3
• Also compatible with ZENmini MkII and PULSEmini
 

In my opinion, unless you are an electrical engineer or you know someone who is using a S booster or Teddy Pardo LPSU can get you in trouble if you don’t match the specs up correctly. I was told in an email from INNOUS that if they found that an aftermarket LPS you caused any issues they would not honor any warranty. obviously this would not be a problem if you matched correctly.
