Innuos PULSEmini Streamer - Ex Demonstration

Product Summary

The Innuos PULSEmini is a compact network music player designed to bring high-quality streaming into a hi-fi system without taking up much space. It is ideal for customers who want the Innuos Sense experience in a smaller, more accessible player, whether used as the main source in a system or as an additional streaming zone alongside an existing Innuos server.

Despite being the most compact model in the PULSE range, the PULSEmini is built around proper hi-fi engineering. It uses a custom-designed motherboard, Intel quad-core processor, industrial-grade RAM and a dedicated SSD module for the operating system, all configured around stable, low-noise music playback rather than general computer use.

The PULSEmini can be used in Standalone mode to play music from streaming services, internet radio and NAS storage through the Innuos Sense app. It can also work in Endpoint mode with an Innuos server, HQPlayer or Logitech Media Server based system, making it a flexible choice for both simple and more advanced digital audio setups.

With analogue RCA output from its built-in DAC, plus USB, optical and coaxial digital outputs for connection to external DACs, amplifiers or AV systems, the PULSEmini is easy to integrate into a wide range of hi-fi systems. Its quiet, fanless design and compact aluminium-fronted chassis make it especially well suited to living rooms, offices and secondary listening spaces.

This is an ex-demo model that has been very well cared for. It comes supplied with original boxing and accessories. Comes with a 12 month warranty as it was just serviced by Innuos.
