NODE ICON is a premium wireless music streamer for passionate audiophiles. Every detail is designed with the best performance in mind: groundbreaking Dual-Mono DAC technology utilizing two ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M D/A converters, a stylish aluminum casing and a stunning 5-inch full-color display complete the package.
NODE ICON can be connected to any high-quality amplifier, directly to powered speakers or headphones, making BluOS HiRes streaming, Apple AirPlay 2, THX® AAA technology and more part of your existing sound system. With HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital and Dirac Live compatibility, you can experience music and TV in a new way with immersive sound and the best room correction available.
With select components and a carefully designed Dual-Mono DAC, NODE ICON sets a new standard for wireless music streaming. It utilizes two of the latest ESS SABRE® ES9039Q2M D/A converters and a neutral circuit architecture. This allows for excellent dynamics, extremely low distortion and the highest possible resolution. The performance of the D/A converters is enhanced by MQA Labs' revolutionary QRONO d2a technology, which corrects timing errors when converting a digital signal to analog, restoring the accuracy of the original recording.
Bold industrial design meets the demands of today's generation of hi-fi enthusiasts: NODE ICON offers a high-quality aluminum housing, balanced XLR outputs and a sharp 5-inch full-color HD display. Its sleek gloss black exterior blends seamlessly into any environment, and high-quality connectors support high-level performance. It also supports DSD playback and uses the latest two-channel ES9826 SABRE ADC converter, delivering analog sound that is true to the original with virtually no noise or distortion.
Stream all the music you've ever recorded, from popular music services or your own digital music libraries, and access it all with the BluOS app. Built-in Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX™ Adaptive Bluetooth® offer more ways to enjoy music from a wider range of apps and services. With HDMI eARC, NODE ICON can be connected to your TV with a single cable and combine HiRes music streaming with movie and game moments.
NODE ICON connects wirelessly to Bluesound speakers and stereo components to create a whole-home multi-room system powered by BluOS™. Dual band Wi-Fi ensures uninterrupted listening, so you can play your favorite music anywhere or listen to different music and styles in different rooms. The entire system is easily controlled from your phone, tablet or computer.
THX AAA™ technology enables natural headphone listening when you want a private listening moment. THX AAA™ delivers the world’s most linear sound response and its patented “Feed forward” error correction technology ensures incredibly low noise and distortion, enabling an exceptionally wide soundstage and clear reproduction. Plug in high-quality headphones to either the left or right 6.3mm headphone jack and enjoy uncompromised sound quality without the need for additional accessories.
NODE ICON is equipped with the ability to intelligently improve room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an update directly from Dirac . Use the Dirac app to measure your room acoustics and then correct for standing waves, reverberation problems and other unwanted room effects. The result is clear, balanced and detailed sound for your music and movie experiences. The Bluesound-NAD Room Correction Kit RCK with a highly sensitive microphone is available as an accessory.
