Bluesound Node X

Audio Gear Talk BluOS: NAD & Bluesound

Hi, Bluesound introduced a new streamer. After many complaints about noise, plops clicks in the N130 Bluesound they will hopefully ditch the N130 with the Texas Instruments PCM5242 32-bit/384kHz DAC.

In the new model X is the Sabre ESS 9028Q2M 32-bit/348kHz DAC. This is a fine chip when implemented in the right way. I hope Bluesound does a better job with model X.

I sold my two N130 and enjoying my Matrix Audio Element I

Cheers John

Its also got a THX AAA headphone amp too. So should be a step up.

You are right, it was my assumption after 1.5 years of frustration :woozy_face:

I will adjust my message a bit, thanks.

it’s not a limited edition in the sense that the 3050 LE was.

it’s limited to the year of purchase (2023), not the number of units manufactured.
