“The original NODE set the standard for performance, and it continues to be the most
recommended streamer in the category today,” said Matt Simmonds, Product Manager at Bluesound. “We've meticulously re-engineered its components and circuitry to not only elevate sound quality but also to streamline its integration into any home audio system. Whether you’re a dedicated audiophile or just someone who loves great sounding music, the NODE is designed to enhance your listening in every way.”

to be even more pristine with circuitry expertly designed to reduce jitter and
interference.
