Re-engineered, Upgraded, Enhanced, Hi-Res Multiroom Wireless Streamer with Dirac Live Capability
There's nothing like a Bluesound NODE, the original hi-res multiroom wireless streamer. With re-engineered components and circuitry for even better performance, the new NODE Performance Music Streamer (aka NODE 2024) now features built-in THX AAA™ headphone technology, DSD playback, and more.
Connect it to your stereo system and stream music, radio, podcasts, and more from popular streaming services or your personal library. With HDMI eARC, Dolby Digital decoding, and Apple AirPlay 2, the NODE Performance Music Streamer is at the core of your home audio experience, with the flexibility to wirelessly connect to Bluesound Players for seamless multi-room music throughout the home.
New! Dirac Live Support
For a nice upgrade in sound quality in your listening space, Bluesound has just introduced Dirac Live, the industry-leading room correction technology, to the NODE Performance Music Streamer and the NODE ICON. These are the world's first streamers to support Dirac Live with the firmware update that was released on January 14, 2025.
You can access these DIRAC READY products with the purchase of a Room Calibration Kit and a Dirac Live license (both optional, sold separately), ensuring optimized audio performance regardless of room acoustics. See below for more information on this exciting new feature.
Award-Winning Performance
The NODE Performance (aka NODE 024) won a Reviewers' Choice Award from soundstagesimplifi.com, which observes, "The new Node brings more to the table, starting with a very capable headphone amplifier, which makes it a fabulous value at $549."
"Connect a Node and an integrated amp or stereo receiver can be part of a multiroom music system with as many as 64 zones, with support for more than 20 streaming services, including several that offer lossless and hi-rez audio. As we’ve written many times in this space, the underlying BluOS software platform is functionally rich, operationally reliable, and user-friendly."
"What Audiophile Doesn't Need One?"
"I am not sure what audiophile doesn’t need a BlueSound Node 2024 in their system these days. Even if you are rocking a higher-end music streamer or player, you likely will want to have a BlueSound Node (Nano or 2024) in your audiophile rig. Why? Because the BlueSound Node has better streaming options, an ultra-easy-to-use interface, game-changing features and industry-leading sound," opines Jerry Del Colliano, futureaudiophile.com, January 15, 2025.
"You get all of that for $549? In fact, you do. Is it crazy to plug such an audiophile source component into a DAC or preamp costing 20 times more? No, it is not. The BlueSound Node 2024 is just that good."
Bring out Every Detail of Your Music
Stream like never before and bring out every detail of your music. From audiophile-engineering and carefully selected components to its breakthrough processing power and acoustic measurements, the NODE is all about design and engineering. A new and improved ESS SABRE® DAC (ES9039Q2M) is precision engineered to be even more pristine with circuitry expertly designed to reduce jitter and interference. The result is clean and clear audio to your favorite amp or powered speakers.

Connect your high-performance headphones to a full-sized 1/4" headphone jack and enjoy audiophile listening with zero compromise.

Convenient Voice Control
With support for the most popular voice assistants, including Apple’s Siri and Amazon Alexa, control is more convenient that ever. Every supported voice assistant gives you easy, hands-free control over the music in your home so you can pause the music when the phone rings or ask what song is playing, all with your voice.

Set up a default room and use quick and easy voice commands to control your music using the long list of BluVoice custom commands. For example, you can use voice commands to play saved playlists, select your favorite radio station, adjust volume levels, or even group players together and play your music in perfect sync throughout the house.
"Controlled, Balanced and Easygoing"
England's What Hi-Fi? reports, "The Bluesound Node (2024) is an admirably controlled, balanced and easygoing performer… [It] invokes its considerable pedigree to once again make for an affordably priced, feature-heavy network streamer, one that’s well-suited to listeners who like their music to sound clear, undemanding and admirably well-organised."
Smart Acoustics with Dirac Live
With the firmware update that was released on January 14, 2025, the NODE and NODE ICON come ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac (optional, sold separately).
Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and eradicate bass traps, echoes, and other unwanted distortions from your audio. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound (optional, sold separately).
Enjoy a Dirac Live Listening Experience
Dirac Live is a digital room calibration solution designed to optimize your sound systems and counterbalance the challenges presented by the room’s acoustic properties. It optimizes the audio by compensating for distortions caused by the acoustics of your room.
When integrated with an AVR, music streamer/player, and other compatible gear, Dirac Live measures the acoustic characteristics of your space using a calibrated microphone (sold separately), analyzing how sound interacts with the room. It then adjusts the speaker’s output to ensure that the sound is balanced and true-to-source, regardless of the room’s shape, size, or materials.
Contrary to basic EQ systems that mainly flatten the frequency response, Dirac Live corrects both the frequency and impulse response. This means it not only addresses tonal balance, but it also ensures that transient sounds (like a clap or a drum hit) are reproduced cleanly without smearing or delay.
By using Dirac Live, you’re essentially enhancing the potential of your sound system to perform as it would in an acoustically perfect environment, making the sound more realistic and detailed, even in challenging spaces.
New! Support for Qobuz Connec
Big news for music lovers! Starting September 2025, BluOS supports Qobuz Connect, making it easier than ever to enjoy your favorite tracks in stunning hi-resolution.
With this update, you’ll be able to stream directly from the Qobuz app to any BluOS-enabled device from Bluesound, NAD Electronics, PSB Speakers, Cyrus Audio, DALI Speakers, and Monitor Audio — all at up to 24-bit/192 kHz quality.
Browse, search, and play right inside the Qobuz app, while BluOS handles what it does best: seamless, reliable multi-room playback. You’ll still manage speaker grouping and volume inside the BluOS app, but control of music selection is now right at your fingertips in Qobuz.
