Specifications

The Node Icon is the flagship wireless music streamer for the most discerning audio enthusiasts.

The Ear

From Iconic to icon

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.

Beautifully designed for the audio obsessed

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.

Go beyond the HiFi system

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.

Stream everything

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.

World's best headphone amplifier technology

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.

Smart acoustics

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.

The Node Icon is the flagship wireless music streamer for the most discerning audio enthusiasts. Every detail of the design has been performance engineered to set a new benchmark in the category, from its breakthrough Dual-Mono DAC design implemented to perfection with two ESS Sabre DACs, to its sleek aluminum chassis and stunning 5” full-colour display. The Node Icon also features all digital/analog inputs and outputs including HDMI eARC and balanced XLR outputs for high-quality connectivity.

The Node ICON takes all the things that Bluesound is good at and adds a level of out-and-out hi-fi capability that puts it in a different league from the smaller Nodes. This is a fearsomely capable digital front end that is still an absolute joy to use and one that will complement a huge number of different systems.

The Bluesound NODE ICON offers a sparkling glimpse of what we can expect to see from future Bluesound NODE models. the NODE ICON is the perfect unit for seasoned audiophiles and curious music lovers looking for the ultimate hi-res music listening experience. I've listened to my fair share of NODE models and with each new iteration comes even better sound quality and performance.
