Upgrading my audio setup, so I'm letting go of my Bluesound Node 2i hi-res wireless music streamer, which I got around 2020.With all the original packaging and contents, you'll have a pretty like-new experience.For those new to the Bluesound streaming experience, you connect this box to the internet, and it helps you get all your digital music to the amplifier of your choice.It integrates with your pay accounts like Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, and Amazon Music. You can also reach local digital libraries. There is also a nice array of free hi-res music sources, such as Radio Paradise. You can also send audio directly to it over Apple AirPlay 2 or Bluetooth.There are pretty nice mobile and desktop applications for controlling and configuring it. There's even a community of us that have gotten the desktop application to work well on Linux.The full specs can be found at bluesound.com under /products/node-2i (URLs disallowed in descriptions).Dimensions (Product):220 x 46 x 146mm (W x H x D)8.7 x 1.8 x 5.7 in (W x H x D)Weight: 1.12kg/2.45lbDimensions (Shipping, Single Unit):300 x 300 x 70mm (W x H x D)11.8 x 11.8 x 2.75 in (W x H x D)Weight: 2.47kg/5.43lbIncluded Accessories:120V AC Power Cord230V AC Power CordEthernet CableStereo RCA to RCA Cable3.5mm Stereo Mini Plug to RCA CableToslink Optical to 3.5mm Mini AdaptorSafety/Warranty GuideQuick Setup Guide
Starting from the asking price, US$275 sits just under the US$288 median for recent comparable used listings, and above the US$270 25th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than a steal. It is priced comfortably inside the normal market band, though not low enough to call it a bargain.
That makes sense for a well-liked streamer/DAC that still has strong demand: the NODE 2i is valued for simple app-based streaming, solid digital output use, and easy integration into a living-room system. At US$275, the upside is strongest if it’s clean, fully functional, and includes the power supply and any original extras; condition and included accessories matter more here than chasing a slightly lower price.
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.
