Bluesound Node Nano Wireless Music Streamer - Black

Serious Streaming, Palm-Sized Price

The Bluesound Node Nano takes everything that made the Node a category standard, BluOS streaming, hi-res playback, real hi-fi outputs, and shrinks it into a palm-sized box at the friendliest price in the lineup. If your system needs streaming and nothing else, this is the simplest serious way to get it.

Inside is the same ESS ES9039Q2M SABRE DAC found in its bigger sibling, playing hi-res PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD256. Streaming runs on BluOS, one of the most complete platforms in audio, with Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, internet radio, and many more services, plus AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.2 with aptX Adaptive.

BluOS also means multi-room: the Nano links with Bluesound speakers and BluOS-equipped NAD and PSB gear throughout the house, all controlled from one app. It's an easy way to put a quiet room, an office, or a workshop on the same system as your main rig.

Small Box, Real Outputs

Unlike most small streamers, the Nano keeps proper hi-fi connections: analog RCA outputs for your amplifier or powered speakers, plus coaxial and optical digital outputs for an external DAC. Dual-band Wi-Fi and Ethernet handle the network, and a USB-C port supplies power.

Setup takes minutes through the BluOS app, and the top panel's touch controls handle play, pause, and volume when your phone isn't in reach. It comes in black or white.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Paul Cash of HIFI Trends, in a March 19, 2025 review, praised its "clean, detailed, and balanced presentation" and "smoother, more laid-back sound that allows you to sit back and hear 'into' your music," recommending it "for anyone looking for a straightforward music streamer that delivers top-notch sound quality." What Hi-Fi, in a December 13, 2024 review scoring it four stars, found "smooth, robust sound and ample streaming features in a very small package."

Who Is This Streamer Best For?

• You want to add streaming for the least money that still sounds right — the Nano is the affordable door into serious streaming.
• You're already in the BluOS ecosystem — it adds another room to a Bluesound, NAD, or PSB multi-room setup.
• Space is tight — it tucks behind a TV, on a desk, or inside a cabinet.
• You might upgrade the DAC later — coaxial and optical outputs keep that path open.
• If you want HDMI eARC, a headphone jack, or Chromecast, the Nano trims those to hit its size and price — the step-up Node (N132) has all three.

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Power it over USB-C, join your network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and let the BluOS app walk you through setup. Run the RCA outputs to your amplifier or powered speakers, or feed an external DAC from the coaxial or optical outputs. Control playback from the app, the top-panel touch controls, or directly within Spotify and Tidal.
