REVIEW

implementation especially the power

App is robust, feature-rich and stable but could do with some maturing to improve

Sound Quality:

Variable based on the paired DAC and how it’s used/ controlled but for me solid and very good indeed

Detailed, with great bass and smoothness, timing, and imaging very proficient

Playback was seamless

Value for money:

At £2299 if I combine materials, design, PSU, build, connectivity, and control capabilities as well as sonic delivery, the price point feels good to me

We loved:

It works – straight out of the box, the app is stable and feature-rich, incredibly flexible, connectivity is very good, handles all formats and delivers sonically. Impressive PSU implementation

We Didn’t Love So Much:

No wake on LAN feature. Limited user guide does mean a bit of internet hunting if you want to get the most from the Pulse

Elevator Pitch Review: If you are serious about your streaming and want a dedicated high-quality server and streaming platform as the heart of your system or to integrate into your existing digital ecosystem, that offers high-quality materials and performance with a completely stable and capable control app, and that just works when you need it to, the Innuos Pulse is hard to overlook and will be certain to deliver. It does now beg the question from me – do I really need Roon?
