NODE ICON Reference Music Streamer

The Bluesound NODE ICON represents the flagship of Bluesound’s wireless streaming range, combining sophisticated digital architecture, premium analog circuitry, and an elegant solid-aluminum chassis with a vibrant 5-inch full-colour HD display.

At its heart is a dual-mono DAC architecture using two ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DACs, complemented by MQA Labs’ QRONO d2a technology, THX AAA™ headphone amplification, and balanced XLR outputs. The result is a highly versatile digital hub capable of serving as the source, DAC, preamplifier, and headphone amplifier in a high-end audio system.

At Brisbane HiFi, we recommend the Bluesound NODE ICON as a premium digital hub for high-performance integrated amplifiers, active loudspeakers, power amplifiers, and reference headphones across Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia.

Two ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M 32-bit DACs operate in a fully differential dual-mono configuration to provide:

• Exceptional channel separation
• Ultra-low distortion
• Wide dynamic range
• High-resolution digital conversion

5-Inch Full-Colour HD Display

The large front-panel display presents:

• Album artwork
