PICKERING, ON, CANADA—BLUESOUND, the world’s first wireless multi-room music system to support hi-res audio, has joined DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group as its newest member. The membership became official at the recent Consumer Electronics Show 2017 (CES) in Las Vegas.

Bluesound is a 24-bit native, pure-digital multi-room wireless streaming music player ecosystem designed and engineered by an alliance of audiophiles. Bluesound is easily controlled with a tablet or smartphone from any room via iOS and/or Android app controllers.

“DEG is delighted to be able to welcome Bluesound, a brand with a lot of credibility in hifi, to participate,” says Marc Finer, Senior Director of DEG. “We believe that focused marketing initiatives on high-resolution audio by leading providers like Bluesound, will generate the necessary awareness to take this category to a whole new level.”

At CES 2017 in Las Vegas, Bluesound participated with DEG in the High-Res Audio Pavilion in the Central Hall. The 50 by 40-foot exhibit was specifically designed to highlight the key benefits of studio-quality music and demonstrate the end-to-end process of achieving high resolution sound from studio recording through to choosing a premium playback device capable of decoding high-resolution audio storage and delivery formats.
