Background Information
The Bluesound Node ICON was designed with precision and passion by engineers striving to achieve the perfect balance between technology and the musical experience. The design team focused on high-quality materials such as aluminum for the enclosure, which ensures a luxurious look and enhanced durability. When it comes to internal components, Bluesound uses advanced DACs and discrete amplifier modules for a clear and detailed sound. The emphasis is on minimalist design and an intuitive user experience, supported by robust cabling and meticulous internal wiring. The manufacturing process follows strict quality control measures to ensure consistency and superior performance.
Brand History
Bluesound was founded in 2013 as part of Lenbrook Industries, a Canadian company that also includes the NAD Electronics and PSB Speakers brands. The brand was developed by a team of audio experts previously involved in designing high-fidelity equipment since the 1970s. Bluesound was born out of a desire to provide high-quality wireless audio and focuses on combining hi-fi sound quality with modern wireless technologies. The brand was born from a project that was originally intended to procure existing streaming technology, but eventually decided to develop the technology internally. This led to the creation of BluOS, a proprietary platform for managing and streaming high-resolution audio in a multi-room environment.

Reviews & awards | Bluesound Node ICON

HomeTheaterHifi.com

— In his review, Mel Martin praises the Bluesound Node Icon as possibly the best streamer in the lineup in terms of audio quality. He specifically cites the dynamic range, the positioning of instruments and voices, and the clarity in complex pieces—such as orchestral or choral works—as outstanding.

What Hi-Fi?

— The review describes the Node Icon as a flagship streamer with “rich, musical sound” and a “highly stable streaming platform.” It also highlights the premium build quality, featuring an aluminum chassis, a glass top, and a striking 5-inch color display.

Crutchfield

— Athena H. appreciates the extensive connectivity options (RCA, XLR, optical digital, coaxial, USB-C/A, and HDMI eARC), and especially the performance of the dual-mono ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DAC chipsets. In direct comparison with other setups, the Node Icon’s DAC comes very close to reference-grade equipment, although in some cases a standalone DAC may sound just a bit richer.

Essential Install

— Trade reviewer Richard Stevenson describes the device as having “audiophile chops”: tight, clear, and spatially balanced, with fast bass response; its clarity and nuance are praised for vocal, classical, and folk music, though somewhat less so for rock music.

Speakerfeed

— Ibrahim Mohsin praises the design, featuring an aluminum chassis, the display, and the two headphone jacks on either side. The extensive range of input and output ports is also viewed very positively.

AVForums

— Ed Selley calls the Node Icon “exceptionally good-sounding” and “a combination of features, performance, and ease of use that few rivals can match,” but sees room for improvement in the user experience, such as the lack of a physical volume knob and the fact that Dirac Live is an optional feature that requires a separate purchase.

Son-Video.com

— A French review calls it “a very good audio player in terms of sound (truly excellent)” — the sound quality is rated very highly — but points out that the device’s day-to-day operation “could benefit from a more fluid and intuitive user experience.”

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
