This is the 5th node I have bought. Whole home audio fir two houses.
Hi,
After reading a lot of reviews and appreciation from different sources,I finally decided to jump in the streaming world.My choice finally pointed me towards the Bluesound Node(last version).I choose my usual musical pieces to test Hi Res renditions through Qobuz.First thing I noticed was the sound space,the opening,the way music is heard and feel by me: “So what by Miles Davis at 1m.29sec. when the drummer hits the cymbal it expresses what I was looking in terms of musical spectrum.Then,”Lonely woman” by Pat Metheny showed what ECM records did for so many years is to fill the room with exquisite sound and the Node expresses it.
So,in conclusion,The Audio Factory with her spring special and re-certified Bluesound Node did myself a favor :giving me access to the streaming world to listen to musical offerings in a so detailed and fine rendition that every dollar was spent beautifully.Thx to Bluesound and The Audio Factory!
I have been a music fanatic for most of my seven decades — from 45s, to LPs, to cassettes, to CDs and now streaming. The Bluesound NODE brings HD music to my home theater gear. Billed as refurbished, my NODE came sealed and in perfect condition, but priced as if it was used. I am thrilled by the sound quality and love the deal.
