Innuos Pulsar is a high-end network music player/streamer from Innuos’ PULSE series, designed primarily as a digital transport with an optimized USB output and optional digital output modules. It uses Innuos’ Sense software, supports major streaming services, and is built around a custom linear power supply and PhoenixUSB Lite reclocking for improved digital audio performance. Based on the available product information, it is part of the PULSE series that has been replaced by the STREAM series, so it appears to be discontinued.
