Innuos
Pulsar
Introduced 2023$6,899 MSRP
The Innuos Pulsar is a dedicated network streaming transport/bridge — the top model in Innuos's Pulse series, sitting below the flagship Statement — that outputs a clean digital signal to an external DAC via USB, with optional plug-in SPDIF, PhoenixUSB, or PhoenixI2S output modules for further sonic upgrades (Hi-Fi+; innuos.com). One reviewer wrote "I feel that what the Pulsar offers sonically should cost $10,000 or more" (Tweek Geek Speek).
