This £328 asking price is ambitious, sitting well above the £303 75th percentile of recent GBP comps and roughly £84 over the £244 median, so it’s not a bargain despite the Node N130 being a respected 2021-generation streamer now superseded by the newer Node X. The timing matters: you’re buying a last-gen model with mature BluOS software and proven stability, but at a premium that doesn’t reflect current used-market reality.
The Node N130 remains a worthwhile buy because of its excellent ESS DAC, Dirac Live support, HDMI ARC for TV audio, and robust multi-room BluOS ecosystem that still feels fresh. If this listing is from an original owner with all cables and the power supply intact, it’s a solid opportunity at a fair—but not cheap—price; only scrutinize for missing accessories or cosmetic wear since the price leaves no room for condition surprises.
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.
