HOW DOES THE NODE X DIFFER FROM THE STANDARD NODE?
Bluesound celebrates its ten-year milestone with the Node-X, a limited-time, 10th Anniversary Edition of the NODE, known for its hi-res streaming and compact design. The Node-X improves upon the previous design with an upgraded audiophile-grade ESS Sabre DAC and a high-end headphone amp featuring THX AAA™ technology. The Node-X comes in a stunning silver finish casing and is the latest benchmark of Bluesound's pursuit to introduce music lovers to true high-performance fidelity. Featuring a full-sized ¼” headphone jack, the Nonde-X boasts a truly high-end headphone amplifier that utilizes THX Achromatic Audio Amplifier (THX AAA™) technology with patented feed-forward error correction to produce incredibly low levels of noise, distortion, and power consumption. This results in a realistic, fatigue-free listening experience, making the NODE X the ultimate streaming source for HiFi systems and a no-compromise hi-res streamer for headphone enthusiasts.
I have been very impressed with the Node X. Normally listen to vinyl, and streamed through the phone to HEOS on a Marantz. Sounded fine, but the Node brings so much more detail, so much more depth, and the nuances that you so frequently hear on vinyl that are often missing through compressed digital files. It's still not quite as warm as a record, but it's a **** of a lot more convenient...if you're thinking about the upgrade, it's worth it. Do it.
