Is the Node Nano worth it over the full Node?

If you only stream and already have an amp or DAC, the Nano covers the core job with the same BluOS platform. The full Node adds HDMI eARC, analog inputs and a headphone jack, which matter if you also want TV or turntable hookups.

Can I connect it to a TV?

Not over HDMI ARC; the Nano has no HDMI input. You can feed TV audio in over optical only if your TV outputs it, but there is no eARC return channel.

Does it work with powered speakers?

Yes. Use the stereo RCA outputs into powered speakers or an integrated amp. There is no volume bypass switch, so set levels in the BluOS app.

What file formats does it support?

It handles hi-res PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD, and plays local files from USB storage or a memory card. Streaming quality depends on the service and your network.

The streamer, an Ethernet cable and a USB-C power cable. No remote and no RCA cables are included.

Can I use Bluetooth headphones with it?

Yes. Two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth lets you send audio to headphones or stream from a phone. Wired outputs remain the better choice for critical listening.
