What the press says

The connected mini-amplifier is a product capable of meeting the expectations of many users, whether they are audiophiles or not. In a compact format, it combines both the network player and the power for the speakers. Ultimately, only the speakers need to be added. The Bluesound Powernode is one of the reference devices in this field, and even more so since its latest version that we tested.

Le mini-amplificateur connecté est un produit apte à répondre aux attentes de nombreux utilisateurs, qu’ils soient audiophiles ou non. Dans un format peu encombrant, il rassemble à la fois le lecteur en réseau et la puissance pour les enceintes. Il n’y a que celles-ci à ajouter finalement. Le Bluesound Powernode est l’un des appareils de référence dans ce domaine, et encore plus depuis sa dernière version passée en test entre nos mains.
This device is currently the best in its category. With source selection buttons, Chromecast compatibility, and a slightly smoother volume control, it would be perfect.

Parfait pour un bureau couplé à des Minx 21 et un caisson Minx 201.

Vincent

Very practical, powerful and high-quality for its size. Paired with JMR Lucia speakers and an Advance Paris X7 CD player, it delivers complete satisfaction.
However, possibly due to the presence of a Bluesound Node connected to another system, my phone sometimes has trouble finding it.
I highly recommend it.

Très pratique, puissant et qualitatif pour sa taille, couplé avec une paire JMR Lucia et Lecteur CD Advance Paris X7, donne toute satisfaction.
Par contre peut-être à cause de la présence d’un Bluesound Node branché sur une autre installation, mon téléphone a parfois du mal à le trouver.
Je recommande fortement.
