Bluesound NODE

The Bluesound NODE is the successor to the very popular and much acclaimed Bluesound Node 2i.
With this third generation of the Bluesound NODE, an existing hi-fi set can be supplemented with streaming functionality with which internet radio stations, music albums via commercial streaming services and your own music from a NAS can be played. Adding a Bluesound NODE to your existing hi-fi set literally opens up a whole new musical world for you.

The new NODE features an ARM Cortex A53 Quad-Core processor, which was previously introduced in the Pulse Soundbar+. This quad-core processor delivers more processing power and is up to eight times faster, allowing the NODE to deliver even better sound quality. In addition to a powerful new processor, various new technologies have been implemented that make this new NODE completely ready for future streaming developments.

This renewed NODE has received a number of nice upgrades compared to the Gen2i model. In addition to the next-gen processor platform, this NODE features a new and improved DAC design with a lower signal-to-noise ratio and even lower distortion figures. The NODE also has an HDMI eARC input and a USB audio output that allows this NODE to be combined with even more external DACs. The new NODE has been given a matt satin lacquer finish that makes it fit seamlessly into any interior.

Like its predecessor, the Bluesound NODE is equipped with dual-band Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth. This NODE is also equipped with voice control and is both Dolby and ROON certified. New is the beautiful glass top panel with touch controls and proximity sensor, preset buttons and a 'wipeable' volume control. Now you don't necessarily need the app to put on your favorite music or choose a different input. Much can now be controlled from the top of the product. This makes the already easy-to-use Bluesound NODE now even more intuitive.

With the Bluesound app, you can stream internet stations in the blink of an eye and effortlessly browse through local and online music libraries. Prefer to stream music via Tidal, Qobuz, Juke or Spotify? It's just a matter of entering the subscription details and you have instant access to a limitless music library online. Bluesound supports MQA and high-res music files up to 24bit and 192kHz in PCM. Listen to all your favorite TIDAL Masters in studio quality from now on.
