A new star in 2019 : Innuos Statement Server
- Thread starter CKKeung
- Start date
I respectfully disagree. I value SQ, of course, and so the Innuos is great because it sounds better. however, I also greatly value the search ability and navigation/organization of Roon, especially since it leads to the discovery of new music, which also tickles me. I am learning to live with both and make switches backs and forth. The combo of these two softwares would be the ideal IMHO
That's too early to tell as I haven't yet been able to make this comparison.
Many of our clients choose Innuos for the added functionality of ripping and the Roon Core possibility. If none of these are of importance, you can start looking at the differences in performance and characteristics compared to Aurender.
There's also an approximate €8.000/$8000 price difference here in Sweden in between these two units where the Aurender N30 is more costly.
The Aurender N30 is my current SOTA streamer/server if you're looking for the most analogue sounding source possible. Adding to that is the build quality, appearance and long term stability of Aurender which brings additional value.

That is correct. Aurender has choosen their own path having full control of both the software and hardware, which does have its merits in terms of stability and performance.

I wrote a review of Statement Nextgen and compared it to a non-Nextgen on a Hong Kong audiophile forum a few weeks ago.
Will try to translate it into English and share with WBF members in one or two days' time.

Did someone manage to compare directly STATEMENT NEXTGEN to the new PULSAR with streaming from Qobuz (not playing local files).
At HE Munich 2022 a guy from Innuos told me that the SQ of both devices should be about on par with streaming from streaming services.
Thx

Statement has also the Innuos ethernet re-clocking integrated. So, PhoenixNET plus Pulsar should be closer to the Statement than Pulsar on its own, but Statement will still have a bit more going on. Since I already have the PhoenixNET (and not enough to reach up to the Statement...), that's the route I'll be pursuing, once the Pulsar is released (in September, I think).

I just checked the Pulsar spec and the power supply is similar to the Statement’s Next Gen ARC6, so you essentially get the equivalent to the most recent Statement with the new PS, but without Ethernet reclocking, which can be added with a PhoenixNET, as you mention. Should sound wonderful, especially if you take good care with the network feed.
The Pulsar would sound considerably better, based on its superior power supply and SSD. Essentially Pulse has the current Statement power supply set-up while Pulsar uses the new Statement Next Gen ARC6 module
I think a small number of people have been lucky in getting their next gen Statement upgrade before components started becoming harder to source. Unfortunately I wasn‘t one of the lucky ones and have been waiting with my name on the list since June for the upgrade programme to pick up Again. The most recent update I had from Innuos was that they were hoping to resume upgrades this month.
