    Coming off the original Node (2021). That unit was very satisfying. The new Node (2024) is much improved with updated internals, including the new ESS Sabre Dac. Vocals are brilliant and instruments sound so sweet. The new Node sells for what I bought the original Node for ! Thank you Bluesound ... I'm sure this can compete with much more expensive streamers. Like it lots !!!
