Upgrade from Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii to Innuos Pulse

Got a better idea for you consider a 432evo server

We have models priced similarly and you can upgrade to a gigher end model anytime to a higher end model

Our Aeon model sounded as good as a statement for a third of its price

Weare a full Roon core and Endpoint in one box and we are designed to run Roon

Hi guys,

I posted this back in August originally; now the Innuos Pulse line-up has had more time out in the wild, I'm looking to anyone who has made the move from Zen mini mkiii W/Innuos LPS, to the Pulse?

Was the upgrade worth it, in terms of SQ?

Just for reference, my Zen mini feeds the Cen Grenade Super Clock (USB), through Marantz Model 30 -> ATC SCM40. All electronics fed by the Puritan Audio Labs PSM156

Thanks guys 👍

I can't remember,  but does Innuous have a return policy? I have the Zenith MK3 and it's excellent. I'm sure that the Pulse would be a hugh improvement over your Zen.

I’m wondering how the Pulsar compares to the Zenith mk3.

I can't comment on the upgrade itself as I never owned a Zen Mini but my experience with the Innuos PULSE has been great so far. My best ever sounding streamer. You won't regret it.

I moved up to the Pulse from the Zen mk3 and find it a noticeable improvement in SQ.  I use the Sense app.  You do lose the disc ripper functionality, but it was worth the trade-off to me.  My system is streaming only, so improving the front end is critical.  I had both in my system and was able to AB and the Pulse was a clear winner.  Hope this helps!

@cosmic_charlie Thank you; it really does help.

If the jump from the Zen to Pulse was that good, I can't imagine the jump from Zen mini to be any less an improvement. My system is streaming only also, so yep I agree, getting the front end/streamer as optimal as can be is vital.

Thanks again, much appreciated
