Bluesound NODE NANO Music Streamer

Bring true hi-res streaming to any stereo or powered speakers without replacing your existing gear. The Bluesound NODE NANO connects to Wi-Fi or gigabit Ethernet and turns your system into a modern, app-controlled music hub—ready for today’s top streaming services, internet radio, and local libraries through BluOS.
