Boost Your Music and Movie Experiences with a High-Res Streamer/Amplifier for Contemporary A/V Setups: Bluesound PowerNode N331 Offers 100Wpc Output, HDMI eARC Input, Much More

Designed for contemporary lifestyles, A/V setups, and smaller spaces where you need a component to interface with your television and/or surround system, the Bluesound PowerNode N331 high-res music streamer/amplifier gives you proven Bluesound technology, powerful output, and plenty of convenient features so that you never hurt for quality sound and flexible connectivity. 

Weighing only 4.2 pounds, PowerNode N331 boasts 100Wpc output (stereo) and 80Wpc output into three-channel LCR arrays. An HDMI eARC awaits your TV, a 6.3mm headphone output with THX AAA offers private listening, a subwoofer output invites you to bolster the bass, and wireless Dolby Digital surround with a BluOS bonded speaker link means you’re prepped for home-theater capability. PowerNode N331 even pairs wirelessly with Bluesound rear speakers. Indeed, whether you’ve got passive speakers or wired ‘phones, PowerNode N331 is ready. 

Inside, a quad-core 1.8GHZ ARM Cortex A53 processor, trademarked DirectDigital amplification, and the BluOS wireless multi-room platform provide the engineering heft needed to make music and movies sing. That ability extends to MAQ and DSD256 support and natural integration with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Amazon Alexa voice assistance. BluOS delivers more than 20 streaming services and thousands of internet radio stations to your proverbial door. Two-way aptX adaptive Bluetooth, a USC-C input, optical input, and RCA input are further evidence that PowerNode N331 suits an array of present and future configurations.  

Graced with sleek 2.75 x 8.7 x 7.5-inch dimensions, a glass touch panel, and proximity sensor, the Roon-ready PowerNode N331 barely takes up any room and looks like it belongs. Future Dirac Live Ready ability, five programmable quick-touch presets, IR remote-learning capability, dual-band WiFi, and Gigabit Ethernet round out an all-rounder engineered to amplify your listening and viewing experiences.
