This is the exact unit shown in the photos — brand new and unopened in the original packaging. The Powernode is Bluesound's acclaimed "just add speakers" streaming amplifier, combining a high-performance hi-res streamer, premium DAC, and powerful amplifier into a single compact, minimalist chassis. At its core is NAD's HybridDigital amplification technology built on the Hypex UcD module, delivering 80 watts per channel of clean, low-distortion power capable of driving a wide range of passive speakers with authority and precision.
Digital processing is handled by a quad-core 1.8GHz ARM Cortex-A53 processor, with a 32-bit/384kHz DAC supporting hi-res PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz alongside MQA, FLAC, ALAC, and Dolby Digital. The BluOS platform provides native access to Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, and internet radio via TuneIn, with AirPlay 2, two-way aptX HD Bluetooth, Roon Ready, and Amazon Alexa voice control also supported. Connectivity includes HDMI eARC, dual-band Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, two combo analog/optical 3.5mm inputs, a subwoofer output, USB-A, and 5-way speaker binding posts. A wired headphone output and wireless Dolby surround sound capability via compatible BluOS speakers round out a remarkably complete feature set in an impressively small package. The touch-sensitive top panel with proximity sensing enables quick access to playback controls and five programmable presets.
