The Bluesound NODE is a high-resolution music streamer designed to bring network audio, streaming services, and digital music libraries into existing audio systems. Built around the BluOS ecosystem, it provides access to a wide range of music sources while supporting high-resolution playback up to 24-bit/192kHz.
An upgraded ESS SABRE DAC platform delivers accurate digital-to-analog conversion with low distortion and excellent detail retrieval. The NODE can be connected directly to an integrated amplifier, preamplifier, or external DAC through its analog and digital outputs, providing flexibility for a variety of system configurations.
The BluOS platform supports popular streaming services and multi-room audio functionality, while AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, and Roon Ready compatibility allow seamless integration into modern listening environments. Two-way Bluetooth connectivity with aptX Adaptive further expands playback and listening options.
HDMI eARC connectivity enables simple integration with modern televisions, allowing the NODE to function as both a dedicated music streamer and a digital audio hub for home entertainment systems. Dirac Live readiness, comprehensive connectivity options, and intuitive operation make it a versatile addition to both traditional hi-fi and contemporary streaming-based audio systems.
