You put your Ethernet in / You put your speaker cables out / You plug it in / That’s what it’s all about!

My assumption suggests that everyone here knows all about the Bluesound POWERNODE streaming integrated amplifier. Right?

Offering 80 Watts x2 (into 8 Ohms) and access to your favorite streaming services and stored files through Bluesound’s BluOS app or Roon, the POWERNODE can be all the electronics you need. Just add speakers.

The fun part will be finding out how it behaves with music. Stay tuned.
