bluesound nano audio streamer (N030)

Bluesound Nano music streamer,
bluesound at the little audio company,

The new Bluesound Nano is essentially a stripped down Node, bringing the main functions and features of the Mode to a more affordable price point. The Nano provides the same music streaming apps, the same wireless streaming options, same hi-res audio capability, most of the same outputs, Roon compatibility, as well as using the same hi-res ESS DAC.

Plug it in, connect to your network (wirelessly or physically), plug into your system, and you're ready to go.

 

First up, network streaming. The Node will see any music files stored on the same network, and if it can't see them straight away, it's very simple to connect to other products to do so. It will support most audio formats from MP3 to hi-res and DSD, and produce them with suitable quality thanks to its ESS 9039Q2M DAC chip.

 

Wireless music streaming is catered for with AirPlay2 for Apple products, and AptX 5.2 Bluetooth for any other phones and tablets, providing quick, easy, reliable wireless streaming. Numerous popular music streaming apps are catered for such as TIDAL Connect, Spotify Connect, QOBUZ etc, giving access to an abundance of online music.​

​

While the Nano doesn't have a headphone socket, but it can connect to wireless headphones via Bluetooth.​

 

As well as being Roon compatible, all Bluesound products have one of the best control apps available, giving access to a plethora of high quality music streaming apps, reliable wireless performance, all controllable via the BluOS control app, or even Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

​

Just add a pair of active loudspeakers and you have a full digital music system, or add it to a 'vintage' analogue hi-fi and bring it fully up to date, adding all the above features plus the likes of Internet Radio streaming as well.

​

All this for less than £300.
