Description
Innuos PULSAR Network Player
The Innuos PULSAR is a powerful high-end audiophile network audio player from offering an elegant and intuitive user-interface.
Unlike the original Innuos Zen range, the Pulse range does not have inbuilt CD ripper or onboard storage, it uses music files on a NAS or from a computer or other offboard device.
PULSAR is the star of our PULSE Series. Sporting a premium aluminium chassis yet the best is still reserved for the inside, where it packs a custom ARC6 module with Active Rectification and over 130000uF of Mundorf Capacitors.
Instead of SPDIF and AES/EBU outputs, the PULSAR offers an optimised USB output to take sound quality to a whole new level by incorporating a PhoenixUSB Lite Reclocker powered by a custom DC4 CX Regulator Module with Audionote KAISEI capacitors for a smooth yet fast and detailed sound.
The innuOS Operating System’s SSD is also upgraded to a SLC (Single-Level Cell) module, as opposed to the more common TLC (Triple-Level Cell) for the best durability and lower operating power noise.
Overall, PULSAR will deliver you a large, deep soundstage with incredible instrument separation and true-to-life sound textures that brings true musical emotion to your home. Listen to what you have been missing!
PULSEmini will be available in black finishing whilst PULSE and PULSAR in both Black and Silver finishing.
The PULSE series brings you the Innuos experience whether you want to mostly play music from streaming services like Qobuz or TIDAL or whether you just want another zone in your home connected to your main music server. The Innuos PULSE Network players can be used in two different modes:
– On Standalone Mode, you are able to use the Innuos Sense app to play streaming services, Internet Radio and music stored on a NAS to a multitude of audio systems. In this mode, the network player becomes the centre of your audio system, also enabling to use the Sense app with other streamers on your network.
– On Endpoint Mode, PULSE Network Players connect to a main Music Server, be it an Innuos Music Server, Roon Core, HQ Player or any Logitech Media Server based server. PULSE will then show as a zone on the respective music server app and you will use it to browse and play music on the PULSE Network Players.

I notice a very substial upgrade to sound quality using the Pulsar instead of my Melco N100 as streamer. There is more clarity, improved soundstage and better clarity over the lower range. Added to that, the Innous Sense app is wonderfully intuitative, flexible and stable.
