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!
Upgrade from Innuos Zen Mini Mkiii to Innuos Pulse
I'm thinking of upgrading my Zen Mini to the Pulse.
Has anyone made the same move/upgrade, and was there a significant improvement. (I have the Innuos LPSU powering the Zen Mini)
I'm using the Sense App; I have used my Zen Mini as a Roon Core on and off, but always find myself going back to the Sense App, despite the various features Roon provides. I just prefer Sense; I don't think there's a lot in it SQ-wise, for me, Sense feels a little more natural.
Anyway, this isn't about Roon 😊, I mention it as i'd obviously be losing the Roon Core option with the Pulse, but it isn't a problem. (Actually, if I don't sell the Zen Mini, I maybe able to use it as Roon Core but connected on my home network away from my system, I think?).
So to the point, I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has made the same move/upgrade mentioned 👍
Thanks guys 😊
