£292 is fair to slightly firm, not a steal, against the current used market for a NODE N130. Recent UK listings cluster around roughly £249–£279 for ordinary used examples, with cleaner boxed units or accessory bundles landing nearer £299, so this sits just above the middle rather than in bargain territory.
It’s still a worthwhile buy if the unit is clean, fully working, and truly includes cables/accessories, because the NODE remains a well-regarded compact streamer with strong core specs: hi-res support, HDMI eARC, optical/coax outputs, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and a broad app ecosystem. The upside here is convenience and flexibility more than rarity; at this price, I’d mainly want reassurance that the included accessories are complete and that setup/authentication is straightforward.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Bluesound emerged in 2013 from Canada's Lenbrook Group, the powerhouse behind revered hi-fi marques NAD and PSB. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the brand was born from a bold vision to fuse wireless multi-room audio with genuine high-fidelity reproduction, reimagining home sound for a streaming era. Debuting at Munich's hi-fi showcase before a full CES reveal in 2014, Bluesound drew on Lenbrook's decades of audio innovation—pioneered since the 1970s—to deliver hi-res performance without compromise.
The brand specializes in wireless multi-room streaming components, anchored by its proprietary BluOS platform for seamless, intuitive control across devices. Iconic products like the NODE streamer, POWERNODE amplifier, PULSE speakers, and VAULT music server form the core lineup, emphasizing high-resolution audio from Tidal, Qobuz, and local libraries. BluOS extends to NAD and PSB gear, creating a unified ecosystem that prioritizes bit-perfect playback over gimmicks.
Bluesound holds a commanding mid-to-high-end position among discerning audiophiles, celebrated for its stable, award-winning multi-room hi-res streaming that benchmarks the category. No longer unchallenged, the NODE remains a reference, blending accessibility with sonic depth to appeal to knowledgeable buyers seeking modern wireless excellence rooted in Canadian engineering heritage.
