Dual-mono ESS SABRE DAC design • 5" full-color HD display • THX AAA™ headphone amplification • HDMI eARC • Balanced XLR outputs • BluOS multi-room streaming
The Bluesound NODE ICON Premium Music Streamer with 5" Color Display is a reference-level streaming component built for listeners who want audiophile-grade digital playback, modern connectivity, and a more tactile daily-use experience. With its dual-mono DAC architecture, balanced analog output stage, THX AAA™ headphone amplification, and large front-panel display, it is designed to function as the digital centerpiece of a serious two-channel or media-focused system.
System note: This is an especially strong fit for customers who want better sound and connectivity than a standard streamer, but still value app-first convenience and a compact footprint.
Dual-mono DAC design — using two ESS ES9039Q2M DAC chips, the NODE ICON is engineered for improved dynamic range, lower distortion, and greater stereo separation than simpler single-DAC streamer designs.
THX AAA™ headphone stage — Bluesound’s implementation is designed to deliver low noise, low distortion, and excellent control with a broad range of headphone impedances.
BluOS platform — built for stable hi-res streaming, multi-room playback, and wide service compatibility, while remaining easy to operate from iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices.
TV and room-correction readiness — HDMI eARC allows easy integration with modern televisions, while Dirac Live readiness adds a meaningful upgrade path for room optimization.
In a revealing system, the Bluesound NODE ICON Premium Music Streamer with 5" Color Display delivers a cleaner, more dimensional presentation than entry-level streamers while adding the kind of connectivity serious listeners actually use.
My 5 Star Review — I had not set foot in this place in probably 30 years since I bought my last set of stereo equipment there (yes, it still sounds great), but I decided to explore getting a DAC Streamer. The place was always good and has apparently only gotten better over the years. Marc showed me a fully connected, operational Bluesound Node Icon and let me me play with it till my heart's content. He answered every question I had without making me feel in any way rushed or pressured. I was intending only to do some "window shopping" that day, but the experience was so good, I ended up buying the unit on the spot and am right now listening to Ben Webster’s velvety saxophone as I write. I love the thing. It was easy to hook up, although I still have more to learn to fully utilize all of its many capabilities. Highly recommend Audiolab and the Bluesound streamer.
