The Bluesound Node is getting a refresh along with two brand new models, the Bluesound Nano and the Bluesound Icon. The Nano is a more compact version of the Node, while the Icon includes a brand new display as well as many more inputs and outputs.
Here is a look at the new Nano next to an NAD integrated amplifier.
For the Audio Obsessed: From carefully built audio circuitry and components, to its breakthrough processing power and measurements, the NODE NANO is all about design and engineering. At its very core is an industry-leading ESS SABRE® DAC with Hyperstream® IV technology to deliver music (up to 24-bit/192kHz) with breathtaking dynamics and ultra-low distortion.
Built for Any Streaming Source: NODE NANO is powered by BluOS and natively supports many popular music streaming services including Amazon Music, Pandora, Qobuz, SiriusXM, Tidal, and more. It also features Apple AirPlay 2, aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect—perfect for listeners and users who want to stream all their favorite music, apps, and services with one device.
Simple and Easy: NODE NANO features a simple set of digital/analog outputs for connecting to existing audio components via RCA, Coax, Optical, and USB. It also features a backlit front touch panel for quick control and access up to two (2) programmable presets.
Our Best Streamer Ever Built: With carefully selected componentry, and a masterfully engineered Dual-Mono DAC design, the NODE ICON sets a new benchmark for wireless music streamers. It uses two ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M DACs and a low-noise power supply to deliver superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and the highest possible resolution ever heard. DAC performance is further enhanced by MQA Labs’ revolutionary technology, QRONO d2a, which corrects any timing errors in the digital-to-analogue conversion process and realigns the timing response to the original recording.
Beautifully Designed for Audiophiles: NODE ICON features a high-quality aluminum chassis and a stunning 5” full-colour HD display. Its sleek gloss black finish integrates seamlessly into any home or system, while its balanced XLR outputs are directly connected to the Dual-Mono DACs for exceptionally clear audio. It also features THX AAA™ headphone technology and supports DSD playback for studio-quality recordings.
High-Performance ADC: The NODE ICON is equipped with the latest two-channel ES9826 SABRE® ADC to power the conversion of analog audio to digital, adding virtually no noise or distortion to the signal path. The result is true-to-source analog audio with the convenience and versatility of digital.
