Performance High-Resolution Music Streamer & Preamp | Brisbane HiFi Audio Specialist
The Bluesound NODE (N132) is the updated 2024 generation of Bluesound’s acclaimed NODE music streamer, positioned between the compact NODE NANO and flagship NODE ICON. Maintaining the compact form factor, proximity-sensitive touch controls, and versatile connectivity of the NODE platform, the N132 introduces upgraded internal components for enhanced digital audio performance.
