From CNET: Bluesound unveiled three new streamers in its audio range on Tuesday: the Node Nano, the Node and the Node Icon, with prices starting at $299.
The new Node Nano is a compact entry-level streamer, while the upgraded Node ($549) features an all-new ESS Sabre DAC and better performance. Lastly, the new flagship, the Node Icon, with its 5-inch display and dual ESS Sabre DACs, looks to take on industry favorites such as the EverSolo DMP-A6 and the Cambridge Audio CXN100.
At $299, the Bluesound Node Nano is now the most affordable add-on streamer in the company's range (while the Flex 2i speaker is even cheaper at $249). The Nano features an unnamed Sabre DAC with an analog output, as well as digital coax and optical outputs.
The existing Node and limited edition Node X are beloved by the audiophile community, which will no doubt be looking forward to this updated model. The update brings with it a new headphone amp, plus the ES9039Q2M DAC and Dirac room-correction compatibility.
