A hi-Fi media player with a 2TB HDD hard drive and a CD drive. It plays 24-bit/192kHz music from Internet services, USB HDD, network folders and mobile devices.
BlueSound PowerNode N330 can be used as part of a proprietary wireless multiroom ecosystem managed using the BluOS Controller application, which works with virtually any OS (iOS, Android, macOS or Windows). The application provides access to hundreds of Internet radio stations and music streaming services, including TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify, etc., as well as to audio files stored on local network servers.
Built using the industry-leading ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC, equipped with audiophile circuits, the Bluesound NODE NANO is designed to connect any audio system to the world of music streaming.
The Bluesound NODE Network Player is a new generation of the original high—resolution wireless music streamer with the same name based on the new ESS Sabre DAC from ESS Technology. The Bluesound NODE is now equipped with the ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M audiophile DAC chips, a THX AAA headphone amplifier, and supports the aptX Adaptive codec for the Bluetooth interface and DSD format.
The Bluesound NODE Icon is built in the Dual-Mono DAC concept, implemented with two ESS Sabre chips, and is encased in an aluminum case with a 5-inch full-color display that displays not only information about the player's operating modes, but also album covers, as well as other information about the tracks being played.
