BLUESOUND unveils NODE(N132), a high-performance audio streamer releasing in November with advanced features and priced around 110,000 JPY.
Upgraded from the original NODE, NODE(N132) incorporates the latest ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M DAC for enhanced sound clarity and reduced noise.
Features THX AAA headphone amplifier, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, HDMI eARC, USB connectivity, and high-resolution audio playback such as MQA and DSD.

Bluesound integrates Dirac Live room calibration into NODE and NODE ICON players via firmware update starting January 14, 2025.
Dirac Live enhances audio playback by correcting room-specific acoustic issues and minimizing phase discrepancies.
Users require a Dirac Live license and a $39 calibration kit for setup, compatible with third-party microphones like the MiniDSP UMIK-1.
