LB Tech Reviews

Meet the Node X

Since its inception, the iconic NODE has proven that audio quality, convenience and affordability can live together in one compact unit. The NODE X re-imagines some of the best parts of the NODE’s product design and takes ‘just add streaming’ into the next generation of audiophiles.

Form meets function

Don't let the size and minimalist looks of the NODE X fool you into diminishing its capabilities. Inside, the NODE X features a premium ESS Sabre DAC design that supports 24-bit/192 kHz audio processing, along with a high-end headphone amplifier driven by THX AAA™ technology and a full-sized ¼” (6.35mm) headphone jack for the ultimate no-compromise, wired headphone listening experience.

The Bluesound Node X is not a completely new product, but rather a small but successful evolution of the Bluesound Node N130. The sound is very good, and for a very reasonable price you get both a streaming receiver and a digital preamplifier. As well as a good quality headphone amplifier.

The NODE provides you clarity in the midrange and has an accurate sound signature that compliments all of your favorite songs. If you fancy the details and love to pick apart the layers in a song then the NODE X is your best option. Or maybe you're an 80's pop lover and want the clarity the NODE brings to your favorite vocals. Regardless, Bluesound streamers provide an incredible value for the price-to-performance ratio to newbies, audiophiles and music enthusiasts alike.
