Innuous Pulse vs Pulsar

I owned the Zen, then Zenith 3 and recently upgraded to the Pulsar.  The Pulsar is a significant step up from the Zenith 3 sonically. Based on my experience with Innuos each time you upgrade you really do experience a nice sonic improvement. 

Not done a strict A/B test, but in my system the Pulse and Phoenix USB gave a much better listening experience than the Pulsar alone. The Pulsar was a short loan so perhaps I didn’t give it a long enough comparison.

Interesting. The Pulsar was better than the Phoenix and Zenith 3 combo to my ears and in my system.  So many variables in preference outcomes!

@grannyring  That’s really interesting.  Thanks. 

Very late to the party but I just heard something very interesting regarding the new line of “Steam” Innuos streamers.  Also there was another recent thread here that I commented in regarding the Pulsar and new Stream 1.  In that thread the comment was made that the Stream 1 was better than the Pulsar, which I found hard to believe.  This past weekend I attended the Capitol Audio Fest.  While there I spoke to two different Innuos dealers that both commented (unsolicited) that the Stream 1 with separate power supply sounded better than a Pulsar.  Still finding it hard to believe but take it for what it’s worth.
