**London, UK (October 16, 2024):** Bluesound, a leading manufacturer of high-fidelity music streamers, has expanded its Node lineup with the introduction of the Node Icon, a high-end device aiming to rival the Cambridge Audio CXN100. This latest addition joins the existing Node Nano and Node, offering a range of options for audiophiles seeking to elevate their listening experience.
The Node Icon, Bluesound’s flagship streamer, is a premium device boasting a five-inch full-color display, a dual-mono DAC design with two Ess Sabre ES9039Q2M DACs, and MQA Labs’ QRONO d2a technology for enhanced digital-to-analog conversion accuracy. It also features THX AAA headphone amplifier technology, both left and right headphone jacks, and balanced XLR outputs for top-notch connectivity.
The Node, a remastered version of the original, now features a re-engineered ES9039Q2M DAC, a built-in THX AAA headphone amplifier, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, and DSD support.
For entry-level users, the Node Nano provides an affordable entry point to the Bluesound ecosystem, offering essential features like an Ess Sabre DAC, dual-band WiFi, and multiple output options.
All three models support popular streaming services such as Amazon Music, Qobuz, SiriusXM, Tidal, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, and are compatible with Apple AirPlay 2.
The Node Icon is available for pre-order starting October 17th, priced at £899, while the Node and Node Nano are available now for £499 and £299 respectively.
Bluesound believes these new additions will deliver the most authentic audio experience possible, allowing listeners to enjoy their music with incredible clarity and detail.
