The Bluesound Node ICON is a flagship wireless music streamer with every design detail carefully engineered to the highest performance standard. With carefully selected componentry, and a masterfully engineered Bluesound Dual-Mono design with two ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC chipsets, its sleek aluminum chassis and 5" full colour display, the NODE ICON sets a new benchmark for wireless music streamers. It uses the latest fourth generation ESS Hyperstream technology to let you experience sound with superior dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and the highest possible resolution ever heard. From engineering to performance, the NODE ICON is the best streamer Bluesound has ever built. The NODE ICON seamlessly connects to any high-performance amplifier, powered speakers or headphones, bringing BluOS hi-res streaming, Apple AirPlay 2, THX AAA technology, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth and DSD support to your existing stereo setup.

With dual-band Wi-Fi for dropout free listening, you can play your new favorite track everywhere or listen to different music and genres in different rooms with total control from your phone, tablet, or desktop. Lifelike headphone listening is made possible by THX AAA technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world's most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to the left or right full-sized 1/4" headphone jacks and enjoy audiophile listening without fuss or compromise.
