I recently purchased a used Innuos Pulse Mini with a Teradak LPS in excellent condition for $950. I paired it with a Schiit Yiggy DAC and am pleased with the sound quality. I use the Innuos app to stream Tidal, Qbuzz and Radio Paradise. The Innuos app imported all my saved favorites, albums and song lists from my Tidal and Qbuzz accounts without issue. After a few days it wouldn’t recognize the Yiggy via USB. I contacted Innuos customer support and explained USB not recognized but SPDIF was fine. Their support said it was a failing USB card in my Yiggy and to contact Schiit. Now that’s customer support. I plan on upgrading to the Pulse this spring. Regards, Mike B.
Streamers and software
It's been a battle. I have had a Bluesound Node 2i for 5 yrs. I upgraded the power supply. There is nothing wrong with function or sound. I switched to Qobuz a few months ago. I transferred my songs from amazon to Qobuz. Qobuz works great when using the Bluetooth function. When I want to play Qobuz thru BluOS, I am missing several thousand songs, called Favorites. Loading and searching times are not usable.
Finally after 2 months BLUOS says they have no solution. QOBUZ is working on a direct connect app to the streamer, but no release date.
So, reluctantly, I started looking at a streamer. I find several other streamers but have buggy software.
So, from what I see the Innuous pulsar mini has good software I would like to spend as little as I can but it looks like $1-$2k? It would be nice to have a linear power supply. Thanks for any suggestions are welcome.
Here is some I looked at.
Holo Audio Red, Ever solo, Innuous, Volumio
