About the Bluesound NODE ICON


The flagship streamer in Bluesound's lineup

Simply put, the NODE ICON is Bluesound's finest music streamer. The system supports high-res PCM files up to 24-bit/192 kHz, DSD256 playback, and Dolby Digital® multichannel audio formats. An HDMI eARC port lets you connect your TV as a source. And versatile audio outputs, including balanced XLR, let you feed pristine signals to your hi-fi system.

The NODE ICON lets you stream music via Bluetooth, from internet services over Wi-Fi, your computer, or your digital music library. You can also connect it wirelessly to Bluesound components in other rooms for high-res music throughout your home. The colorful 5" displays album art plus track and artist info.

Superb digital-to-analog conversion

This reference-quality streamer uses a pair of high-performance ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M DAC chipsets. Its dual-mono configuration produces sound that's clear, dynamic, and brimming with detail.

Wired and wireless connections

To get the most out of this player's overachieving DAC, connect it to a compatible amp or preamp via its XLR balanced audio outputs. There's also a trusty RCA line-level stereo output, as well as Bluetooth transmission for sending sound to compatible headphones wirelessly. For wired headphones, you get two full-sized 1/4" jacks fed by a high-performance THX AAA™ amplifier.

A back-panel USB-C input lets you stream high-res files directly from your computer. Use the optical digital input to take advantage of the NODE ICON's superior DAC with other digital audio components, like a CD player.
