BLUESOUND ICON MUSIC STREAMER
The NODE ICON is a flagship hi-res wireless music streamer with a vibrant 5” full-colour display, setting a new benchmark for wireless music streamers. Seamlessly connect it to any premium amplifier, powered speakers, or headphones, and enjoy music streaming apps, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 streaming, THX AAA™ technology, and more. HDMI eARC and Dirac Live* ensure an immersive audio experience for music and TV.
The NODE ICON redefines HiFi listening with its expertly crafted Dual-Mono DAC design. Featuring two cutting-edge ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DACs and transparent circuitry, it delivers sound with unparalleled dynamic range, ultra-low distortion, and exceptional resolution. MQA Labs' groundbreaking QRONO d2a technology further refines DAC performance by correcting timing errors during digital-to-analogue conversion, ensuring the timing response aligns perfectly with the original recording for an authentic listening experience.
With a bold industrial design for the next generation of HiFi, the NODE ICON features a high-quality aluminum chassis, balanced XLR outputs, and a beautiful 5” full-colour HD display. Its sleek gloss black finish integrates seamlessly into any setup, while audiophile-grade connections ensure superior performance. Supporting DSD playback, it features the latest ES9826 SABRE ADC, delivering true-to-source analog audio with minimal noise or distortion.
Stream all the music ever recorded with the NODE ICON, from popular streaming services to your personal digital libraries, all accessible through the BluOS app. With built-in Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth*, enjoy more music from even more apps and services. HDMI eARC lets you connect seamlessly to your TV, bringing hi-res music streaming into your movie and gaming experiences, all with just a single cable.
The NODE ICON can wirelessly connect to Bluesound speakers and stereo components to create a multi-room music system connected by BluOS™ throughout your whole home. 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.
The NODE ICON comes ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac. Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and eliminate standing waves, reverberations, and other unwanted distortions. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound with additional purchase.

We try and keep on top of our pricing, but it's a mammoth task for one person. So, if you see this product offered cheaper elsewhere, or you are offered it for less elsewhere (proof will be required) and you feel like supporting an extremely independent retailer, do get in touch and we will do our very best to match or beat wherever we can. We can't promise to do so, as there may some extenuating circumstances where we just wouldn't be able to, but we'll always do what we can.
Needs to be like for like - new for new, ex-demo for ex-demo, same colour and specs etc.
