Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer


My apologies to The Monkees. 

I received my Innuos Pulse today and it's outstanding even with the coax output. Better clock in the Pulse I assume. I don't know what they do to those 1s and 0s but they sure sound a lot better than the ones coming out of the Node 2i. I've followed the many discussions about this and it's my sworn testimony that a better streamer is worth it. 

But tomorrow a new DH Labs Mirage USB cable arrives and I can finally hear my BitFrost 2 64 through its USB input.

Congratulations on your Innuos upgrade.  I’m a longtime Innuos fan and owner.  A few points I have learned.  

USB cables matter.  Better USB can deliver better sound.  

Innuos can be even better with attention paid to incoming power and ethernet signal.  Get rid of any and all “wall warts” in your system and get a great ethernet switch. Innuos does a great job of eliminating “noise” but the cleaner things come in, the better they go out.  

Finally, the Innuos benefits from vibration isolation.  Though Innuos does better than many with their feet and positioning, I have found significant further benefits from Nordost SortKones (esp TC) or Stillpoints.

Good luck and enjoy!
