At US$400, this Bluesound Powernode 2i lands right at the median of the typical used market, making it a fair-priced listing rather than a bargain or an overreach. Ground truth from three recent USD comps shows the median at US$400, the 25th percentile at US$270, and the 75th at US$508, so this asking price aligns cleanly with current market reality for a well-maintained unit.
The Powernode 2i is highly regarded for its all-in-one design: it combines a 60W per channel Class D amplifier, a 32-bit/384kHz DAC, and full streaming support (AirPlay 2, aptX HD Bluetooth, Tidal, Qobuz, Roon) in a compact 1.7kg chassis. It drives speakers easily, handles high-res files, and offers subwoofer output and headphone jack—ideal for minimalists or newcomers. At a fair price with no noted condition issues, this is a solid buying opportunity for a versatile, future-ready streamer-amp.

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.
