Lifelike headphone listening is made possible by THX AAA™ technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world's most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to a full-sized 1/4" headphone jack and enjoy audiophile listening with zero compromise. The NODE is packed with digital and analog inputs and outputs, making it incredibly versatile. You can bring in audio from your TV and gaming consoles with HDMI eARC, while dualband Wi-Fi and gigabit ethernet keeps the music streaming without dropouts or interruptions.

Your NODE comes ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac. Use Dirac's app to measure your room acoustics and eradicate bass traps, echoes, and other unwanted distortions from your audio. The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A Dirac Live compatible calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound.
