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.

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. 

Hi, I have the Mini and stream Tidal, Qbuzz, and internet radio. You can search radio by genre or station name in the Sence app. I listen to Radio Paradise and .1FM as I find the sound quality very good. I have a TeraDak Chinese made LPS that cost about $200. While not the quality of the Teddy Pardo or others, it still produced a nice increase in sound quality. I put the money saved towards a Wireworld Starlight Platinum usb cable. I bought all of the above used and have a total of $1100 in the three items. Unfortunately I am cost restricted and after having the Mini, I definitely want the Pulse. I’ve used the included DAC but find my Schiit Yiggy and even my old Bifrost a significant improvement too. Regards, Mike B.
