Bluesound node confusion

I have had several versions of the Bluesound Node over the years. Original Node, Vault, Node 2, Node X and I would buy the Icon without hesitation. I think with the level of customer service, dedication to the Bluesound family of streamers and great software, it’s a brand (Bluesound) that does not get the credit it deserves. The Node X with Teddy Pardo external Power Supply is killer. Add your best external DAC and you are golden!

Get the Bluesound Icon. Too many reasons which relate to the success and sound and evolution of this product. Plus probably the best user software and best customer support. 

Enjoy! Keep us posted on how much you like the Icon. Since it’s a newer product, your input and experience would be helpful too others.

Is it an hdmi arc connection on your TV? Is it marked that way?

I think you will find the GUI and software of Bluesound to be very easy to learn.

Well the Bluesound has it’s own ecosystem where you can navigate and search almost anything you want through a music service app like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify or whichever one you pick and pay for to use. You can use the Icon and Roon app as long as you have a Roon Core (running on a computer, NAS drive, or other compatible hardware) to the NODE ICON. Roon subscription is more expensive and very nice indeed. Roon gives history of artists or bios and will organize your music if you have some on a hard drive and other places. It’s more complex and comprehensive in what it can do. Others here can chime in. Most people I know like Qobuz but I have used Tidal and Roon and they are very capable and have tons of artists and songs to stream. Good luck and have fun.
