Bluesound NODE Wireless Hi-Res Music Streamer
The Definitive Wireless Hi-Res Streamer, Reimagined
The Bluesound NODE is the benchmark wireless hi-res music streamer, re-engineered with improved components and circuitry for even greater performance. Building on the reputation of its celebrated predecessors, the latest NODE adds built-in THX AAA headphone technology, DSD playback, an upgraded ESS SABRE DAC, and Dirac Live room correction readiness, cementing its position as the most capable and versatile streamer in its class. Connect it to any stereo system and enjoy music, radio, podcasts, and more from every major streaming service and your personal library, with the flexibility to expand into seamless whole-home multi-room audio via the Bluesound ecosystem.
Precision-Engineered Sound
At the heart of the NODE is the improved ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC, paired with audiophile-grade circuitry specifically designed to reduce jitter and interference. The result is clean, detailed, and transparent audio reproduction that reveals every nuance of your music through any amplifier or powered speaker system. DSD playback support ensures the NODE is fully capable of resolving the finest high-resolution audio formats available, while the precision engineering throughout the signal path reflects Bluesound’s uncompromising commitment to sonic performance.
World-Class Headphone Technology
The NODE is the first Bluesound streamer to incorporate THX AAA headphone amplifier technology, delivering the world’s most linear headphone response with minimal distortion for exceptional clarity and lifelike listening. A full-sized 1/4-inch headphone output accommodates high-performance headphones directly, transforming the NODE into a capable and self-contained headphone DAC and amplifier of genuine audiophile standard.
Your Music and Everything More
The NODE streams everything at the highest available quality via the intuitive BluOS app, providing access to all major streaming services alongside personal music libraries with thousands of tracks in high-definition quality. Apple AirPlay 2 and two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth are built in for even broader compatibility across apps and services. Works with Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and is fully Roon Ready, ensuring seamless integration with whatever music management platform you prefer.
Connect Everything, Control Everything
The NODE is comprehensively equipped for integration into any audio system. Digital and analogue outputs include stereo RCA, optical, coaxial, and USB audio, while inputs span HDMI eARC, optical, and analogue, providing extensive flexibility for connecting to amplifiers, televisions, and additional source components. Built-in IR learning enables seamless universal remote control integration, and five programmable proximity-sensing quick-touch presets provide instant access to favourite sources at the touch of a panel. Dirac Live room correction is available as an upgrade, using a high-sensitivity microphone to measure and correct room acoustics, eliminating standing waves, reverberation, and other acoustic distortions for optimised in-room performance.
