Bluesound NODE NANO Wireless Music Streamer
The NODE NANO is your music streaming essential. Just plug it in to your stereo system, connect to Wi-Fi, and start streaming.
FOR THE AUDIO OBSESSED
The NODE NANO is crafted for those who demand perfection in sound. Its flagship ESS SABRE® DAC with Hyperstream® IV technology delivers breathtaking dynamics and ultra-low distortion. Stream FLAC, WAV, AAC, and MQA music files with unmatched precision.
YOUR MUSIC AND MORE
Access popular music streaming services, radio, and podcasts effortlessly. Plus, with Apple AirPlay 2, you can enjoy even more of your music from a variety of apps and services. Seamlessly stream from your digital library using the BluOS app.
GO BEYOND THE HIFI SYSTEM
Create a wireless multi-room music system by grouping NODE NANO with other Bluesound players. Control your music in every room from your phone, tablet, or desktop.
SIMPLE AND EASY
Compact and easy to set up, the NODE NANO connects to any audio system with RCA, Coax, Optical, and USB outputs. Dual-band Wi-Fi and gigabit Ethernet ensure uninterrupted streaming, while a backlit touch panel offers quick access to controls and presets. The NODE NANO also integrates seamlessly with popular smart home systems like Control4 and Crestron.
If you just need a music streamer or streamer & DAC without other inputs, room correction, or a sub out, the nano is perfect and still has a very good sounding DAC. Ideal for a secondary or more budget friendly system without the need to buy a separate DAC.
The Nano is a perfect solution for a kitchen bookshelf setup where a Node was awkward in terms of size and to reach the controls on top. The Nano fits better in this space and is easier to use, while staying in the Bluesound family to sync with dining and living room players and access a Vault library. See pictures.
I hear no discernible difference between the Node (N130 - 2021) and the Nano, though the powered speakers in my kitchen aren't that revealing.
I've had four Node streamers for a few years and have never used the HDMI or USB functions on any of them, and only occasionally used the headphone jack on one of them. So the Nano is doing everything a Node has done for me in the past, but more affordably.
If you're just getting into streaming and this will be your first Bluesound player or you're expanding a Bluesound network, the Nano is great value.
I'm very happy with the Nano, especially at the Audio Factory price. This is the seventh Bluesound device I've bought form the Audio Factory. All run great and have collectively become the main source of music for several two-channel setups.
