Iconic sound
For the ultimate sound quality, the NODE ICON uses masterfully engineered components. With not one, but two DACs, the Dual-Mono design promotes a sensationally expansive soundstage with pinpoint soundstaging. The ESS Sabre DACs themselves offer state-of-the-art precision and incredibly low distortion. The DAC’s performance is further enhanced by MQA Labs’ revolutionary QRONO d2a technology. This corrects timing issues in the conversion process, giving you the purest and most natural sound possible.

Access your favourite streaming services and more
Bluesound’s operating system, BluOS lets you stream, in Hi-Res, all your favourite music, podcasts and radio stations. Sync with personal music libraries via wi-fi and connect up to 200,000 tracks in lossless quality. Experience the studio quality sound of MQA music on Tidal, stream DSD music files, or connect and stream favourites with Apple AirPlay 2 and aptX Adaptive Bluetooth. The choice is yours.

Experience optimal sound from your headphones
Fitted with a THX AAA headphone amp, the NODE ICON maximises your headphone’s performance. THX’s leading amp technology gives an incredibly linear response for exceptional sound and remarkably low noise and distortion. For the best quality connection, the NODE ICON fitted with a full-sized (side mounted) 6.35mm jack.

Use as a dedicated DAC
More than just a reference quality streamer, the Bluesound NODE ICON can also be used as a premium quality DAC. Plug in your PC via the USB-C and CD player or other source via the optical digital input and take advantage of the player’s optimal digital conversion. There’s also an analogue RCA input for routing through analogue source signals.

Pro quality connectivity
Featuring balanced XLR outputs, the Bluesound NODE ICON fits seamlessly into high-end systems. More usually found in studios, XLR balanced connectivity helps improve the cable’s resistance to electrical interference and signal loss, giving you the least distorted and purest sound possible, especially over longer distances.

Connect to almost any system – wired or wireless
As well as XLR outputs, the NODE ICON is well equipped for a wide range of system connectivity. For top quality Hi-res sound, take advantage of the HDMI eARC or USB-A audio outputs – ideal for connecting to an AVR or suitable DAC. Alternatively, there are also optical and coaxial digital outputs. For most hi-fi systems, simply connect to the AUX input via the RCA phono outputs. Want to go wireless? That’s not a problem. You can connect to your Bluetooth speaker (or headphones) via the two-way aptX Adaptive Bluetooth interface.

Optional state-of-the-art room correction
A great new feature for the NODE ICON is the option of using the streamer with Dirac Live Room Correction. Purchase a Dirac license (at additional cost to the streamer) and you can take advantage of one of the most advanced room correction systems available. Using an optional mic and Dirac’s sophisticated room correction technology, you can tune the sound to your room, to perfection.

Premium quality casing
With its anodised aluminium casing, the NODE ICON has a premium look and feel. The ICON version is also unique in featuring a colour display – ideal for displaying album artwork as well as status options. Touch sensitive controls with a proximity sensor give you access to the basic functions, keeping your phone free for calls or browsing.
