Bluesound Powernode
Third generation network amplifier with HDMI connection
The third generation POWERNODE (N330). This new model has 3 inputs, including the desired HDMI ARC (eARC) connection for the TV.

The well-known zero distortion technology and the ability to handle even difficult speaker loads take music enjoyment to a whole new level.
