About the NODE N100

The Bluesound Node N100 (first‑generation Node, model N100) is a network music streamer with built‑in DAC, designed to add high‑resolution streaming to existing stereo or home theater systems. It supports common file formats such as MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, WMA‑L, ALAC, and OPUS, plus hi‑res formats including FLAC, MQA, WAV, and AIFF with native sampling rates up to 192 kHz at 16‑ or 24‑bit. It connects to music services, internet radio, and local network libraries via the BluOS platform and free controller apps for iOS, Android, and Windows/macOS desktops. Networking is provided by Ethernet (100Base‑T) and 802.11n Wi‑Fi, and local storage can be accessed via USB. For audio outputs, it offers analog stereo RCA plus digital outputs (optical and coaxial via combo jack, depending on configuration) to feed an external DAC or amplifier. The unit uses a universal AC power input and is no longer in production, available only on the used or refurb market.
