REVIEW & AWARDS
Bluesound Powernode (2021) Streaming Amplifier - Read More

"The Powernode 2021 from Bluesound is a hugely flexible and great sounding diminutive heart of any 2 channel system. With its ability to stream from all major online services including radio, Spotify, Tidal and Qobuz to name but a few, plus additional analogue and digital inputs and a HDMI for ARC/eARC duties alongside an upgraded and more powerful amplifier section, most would find this solution to be an un-imposing fit into any living space, office or bedroom – just add speakers.
App control is simple from any Android or iOS based phone or tablet and Mac or PC operation alongside its handy onboard touchscreen display and optional remote control allow users to interact with the Powernode in many different ways offering high usability and flexibility." - Dan Worth
Bluesound PowerNode streaming integrated amplifier - Read More

"I prefer vinyl over other formats, and I'm most at home with old-school tech. But Bluesound's class-D streaming amplifier surprised me more than once. Its best, most obvious virtue is its clarity. It also reproduces music with convincing scale and impressive soundstaging. Paired with a good pair of bookshelf speakers, such as the Golden Ear BRX or the 13-times-as-expensive DeVore Fidelity O/96 Orangutans, the unassuming Powernode held its own. The BluOS operating system shined, via the Controller app, sending me down rabbit holes of musical engagement, although I do wish it would provide more information about the tracks it was playing.
Downsides? This is an integrated amp for 2022. It's possible to use it with a turntable or a CD player with the appropriate adapter, but it isn't made for that. It's made for playing music from files and—especially, methinks—streaming services.
But, like the original NAD 3020, circa 1980, the Bluesound Powernode is the everyman's (or everywoman's) integrated amplifier for its own time. A 1980 audiophile wouldn't know what to make of it, but, like its predecessor, for this old-school 2020s audiophile, it's simple to operate, built from audiophile components based on decades of collected technical knowledge, and it's made for music lovers. At $899, what's not to like?" - Ken Micallef
Bluesound Powernode (2021) review - Read More

"The fact that there aren’t many streaming amplifiers available at this modest price point almost means the Bluesound Powernode is among the best by default. But thinking that way undermines its obvious sonic talent and the leap it has made from its predecessor, not to mention the well-roundedness of the feature set that makes Bluesound products so appealing.
In every way, the Powernode is better than ever in its fourth generation, and all told that is really, really good." - What Hi-Fi?
Review: Bluesound Powernode (N330) - Read More
"The Bluesound Powernode (N330) is even better than its predecessor, and although the price has gone up since we last tested it, it stands out so strongly from the field that this is quickly forgiven.
It’s clearly worth the extra price compared to the Sonos Amp and its peers, and is the amp in the price range that yours truly would choose if the format were small. Perhaps in any case, because it doesn’t stand up to bigger amps either.
When we tested it alone last year, Powernode gave it five stars. Now, after pitting it against the rest of the field, it’s clear that it should get full marks. Best in test!" - Geir Nordby
