Our take on the Bluesound NODE Music Streamer

The Bluesound NODE is a hi-res network streamer that feeds your existing amp or powered speakers rather than amplifying on its own. Its ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC, jitter-reducing circuitry and THX AAA headphone stage with a full-size 1/4-inch jack set it apart from simpler streamers. It adds HDMI eARC with Dolby Digital decoding, AirPlay 2, Bluetooth 5.0, five presets and multi-room play with other Bluesound Players. Owners rate it highly for sound and setup; the main complaints are the app and the lack of a built-in amplifier.
