Each PULSE series Network Music Player has two modes – these modes give you the flexibility to configure your network music player to work the way you want it to.
In Standalone mode, you can use the Innuos Sense app to play streaming services, Internet Radio and music stored on a NAS, to a multitude of audio systems. In this mode, the PULSE becomes the center of your audio system, enabling you also to use the Sense app with other streaming devices on your network.
In Endpoint Mode, PULSE connects to a main music server, be it an Innuos Music Server, Hq Player or any server running Logitech Media Server. The PULSE will then show as a zone on the respective music server app and you can use your preferred app to browse and play music through the PULSE.
With its compact footprint, low-power efficiency, quiet operation and range of connectivity, the PULSE is a convenient and discreet music streamer for all your music from an Innuos music server, HiFi streaming services and internet radio.
PULSE was designed as the perfect step up for better music playback – its high-quality power supply components, floating SDD for the innuOS Operating System, paired with a custom motherboard and premium components offer substantially improved musical performance that far better than using a computer for streaming.
PULSE outputs PCM up to 32bit/768kHz as well as up to DSD512 via USB to compatible DACs. It features coaxial, optical SPDIF and AES/EBU outputs capable of up to 24bit/192kHz.
Pulse’s 8GB of RAM is double that of the PULSEmini for improved search speed.
PULSE supports MQA Core Software Decoding, which means you can playback MQA and enables streaming and playback of MQA files up to 24bit/96 kHz for non-MQA DACs and up to 24bit/384 kHz for MQA Renderer/Decoder DACs. PULSE can also passthrough MQA files to MQA Full Decoder DACs.
