Award-Winning Performance
The Node Nano won a "Recommended" award from< i>avsforums.com. "The Nano is a neat and well thought out device that drops the price of admission to the Bluesound ecosystem. Its value is slightly contingent on whether you see yourself adding more products in the future. If you are, it is superb but as a standalone device it faces stiff competition," according to Ed Selley, avsforums.com, August 20, 2024.
It also won a Best Product Award 2024 from CEpro.com. "When I add up the unit’s features, including its whole-house (multiroom audio) capabilities, high-resolution audio compatibility, its choice of popular streaming services, Bluetooth and Apple AirPlay 2 options; its networking options, and of course its price point, I think Bluesound and the NODE NANO will open new doors for integrators offering whole-house audio installation services," notes Robert Archer in his August 20, 2024 review.
Add to these a Best Value Audiophile Gear Award 2025 from futureaudiophile.com. "You can say what you want about all of the audiophile music streamers out there, but few, including ones that run Roon often lack key streaming platforms. BlueSound has none of those issues and, for a small investment, you can have access to all that is good in the BlueSound audiophile and networked audio ecosystem… You can’t beat the price, ease of use or user interact."
"Beautifully Designed and Built"
"With its high-performance DAC, solid software platform with integrated support for many streaming services, and multi-room capabilities, the Node Nano is a standout choice for anyone looking to dive into the world of wireless music streaming," reports Todd Whitesel, soundstagesimplifi.com, September 15, 2024. "You might not want to come up for air again."
"It’s beautifully designed and built, and the speed and responsiveness of the BluOS app is superb," notes Simon Cohen, digitaltrends.com, August 20, 2024. "You’ll get top-notch audio quality from the Node into your hi-fi system."
"Engaging, Balanced Sound"
The sound it contributes to is an engaging and balanced one, and the streaming options that the BluOS platform offers is wide. File support is strong and the design is discreet and smart," observes Kob Monney, trustedreviews.com, October 15, 2024.
"Node Nano is a convenient and accessible streamer that should hold no fear for those making their first steps into the world of hi-fi."

Play your new favorite track everywhere or listen to different music and genres in different rooms with total control from your phone, tablet, or desktop.
"Performance Beyond Its Very Reasonable Price"
"Given its price and size, there’s plenty that makes the Bluesound Node Nano a serious proposition if you’re getting into the world of separates hi-fi and want an affordable, compact music streamer to act as the heart of your fledgling affordable system," reports What Hi-Fi?, December 13, 2024. "Bluesound makes a case for itself with greater levels of sonic smoothness and weight."
"The Node Nano is eminently recommendable. It sounds good, with performance beyond its very reasonable price, and the BluOS app is great," observes Steve Graham, wallofsound.ca, November 26, 2024. "My only question is, why didn’t Bluesound bring us the Nano sooner?"
Compact, Simple, Powerful
The NODE NANO is designed to connect easily to any audio system or powered speakers in the house. It is compact and simple to set up with RCA, Coax, Optical, and USB outputs. Dual-band Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet keeps the music streaming without dropouts or interruptions. A backlit front touch panel provides quick control and access to one-touch presets.
The beautiful black matte finish matches perfectly with stereo components or in an AV rack with support for popular smarthome control systems including Control4, Crestron, and more.
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.
