Bluesound Node

Bluesound Node - HD Streaming Player with HDMI eARC

Simply connect the NODE wireless music streamer to any existing stereo system to unlock and discover a universe of streaming audio. With more than enough analogue and digital input and output options to satisfy the most demanding audiophiles, NODE connects your devices to all the music you've ever recorded. Online streaming services, internet radio and even your own digital music library stored on a computer, smartphone or external drive - the NODE brings endless playback possibilities to your very own high-fidelity sound domain.

Even in the naming, it is noticeable that the new Bluesound generation comes across as more purist. Instead of continuing the previous nomenclature with further additions such as "NODE 3", the Canadian developers go back and simply call the new product NODE.

The new version of the successful NODE music streamer, which has been tried and tested for many years, is visually hardly distinguishable from the previous models. The most striking new feature is the larger touch panel on the top, which is activated by a proximity sensor and now also has presets. In addition, the previous soft lacquer surface has been replaced by a noble alternative.

The inner values count even more.
A high-performance quad-core processor (1.8 GHz ARM CORTEX A53) now provides the new BluOS streaming module with over eight times more computing power and four times faster memory speed. In addition, the NODE has an improved dual-band WLAN module that guarantees reliable data transmission even in a network used by numerous other components. For direct music streaming from a smartphone or tablet, a high-resolution Bluetooth® aptX® HD wireless connection is available, which can also be used to control Bluetooth® headphones or speakers at the same time. Apple users can integrate the NODE into their network via AirPlay 2 and the new and extremely powerful high-end D/A converter (32 bit / 384 kHz) even allows decoding and streaming of MQA files, whose audio data can contain music in high-resolution studio quality. Furthermore, the new NODE now also has an additional HDMI eARC input. macos/deepLFree.translatedWithDeepL.text
