Review

The Innuos Pulse network player was an important part of a system that could truly create large musical landscapes, dotted with an unfathomable amount of detail. The sound in this room, in other words, was nothing short of spectacular.“ Marc Phillips, Part-time Audiophile

 

Features

  • Medical-grade filtered IEC

PULSE also has 8GB RAM for handling even larger music library databases.

Visually, PULSE fits well in any system with its wider stance and its bead-blasted, anodized wide front panel made from the best grade aluminum in your choice of Silver or Black.
