- HDMI eARC connection
- BluOS wireless multi-room music streaming
- MQA playback
- bidirectional Bluetooth® 5.0 with aptX® HD

Connections and operation
The Bluesound NODE expands every conventional stereo system with the possibility of playing back numerous online streaming services and Internet radio stations as well as your own digital music collections. For this purpose, the streamer is integrated into the home network via LAN or WLAN and connected either digitally via fibre optic cable or analogue via stereo RCA cable to the existing (pre-) amplifier or connected directly to the TV set via the HDMI eARC interface. The NODE is controlled via the BluOS app, which is available for iOS, Android, Windows and macOS. Alternatively, most commands are accessible via the new touch panel on the top of the unit. Control with the optional infrared remote control (LINK) or with voice commands is easy.
Under the bonnet
The current version of the NODE music streamer, which has already proven itself and been successful for many years, can hardly be distinguished visually from the previous models, but it has been modernised technically all around. A high-performance quad-core processor now enables the new BluOS streaming module to provide over eight times more computing power and four times faster memory speed.
What the Nubert team says
BluOS has always set the standard for software and multi-room capabilities. Whether MQA support or Amazon Music HD, Bluesound was always the first to establish a solution. The latest generation relies on faster processors, modern operation and HDMI eARC to integrate the system into the modern living room landscape. A clear recommendation to buy.
