Bluesound has made waves in the industry for a while with the company’s wireless streamers, and now there are three new ones coming to the market. The NODE ICON is the flagship and is equipped with a large 5-inch full-colour display. It uses a Dual-Mono DAC design with two ESS Sabre ES9039Q2M DACs and the two-channel ES9826 Sabre ADC, powered by a low-noise power supply.

What a silly video this is worse than ad copy. Several ppl have already reviewed them in great detail .
@@dan-qe1tb the information released here was the day it came out…… what a dumb comment
they should release an "all digital" version of the ICON!! Why they keep including analog sections on their higher offerings is beyond me... most audiophiles have external DACs and It's a waste to pay for an entire analog section that you will not use. C'mon use your brains guys!!
Looking forward to this one! The nano is already out and reviewed to sound better the every wiim product including the ultra and it is the entry level node. But the wiim fan boys club always come flapping their gums saying their wiim’s are the best streamers out there Lmao😂🙄
..supposedly, we’re not yet 100% sure it’s better. The first iterations of the Node were less than stellar soundwise, especially for the steep prices. The WiiMs are Very good streamers, and they’re for the people, not just the richest audiophiles. WiiM is the reason you get a 300$ Bluesound, don’t forget that. The Nano would’ve cost 650 bucks if WiiM didn’t exist ;) I can bet money on that
@@cristians3298 I agree that the wiim offers good value for what you pay. I also agree that it took Bluesound a while to do an overhaul. However in all honesty even the 130 will sound better then any wiim. I know you’re not going to agree but hear me out. The nodes are made with much higher quality parts and design implementation that do improve the overall sound quality when compared to any wiim product. That’s why wiim’s are more affordable because it cost them less to make therefore Bluesound isn’t and can’t compete in that price range. You get what you pay for is true, granted as you go higher the percentage drops. Wiim was very smart and aggressive with marketing and quickly sponsored a lot of RUclips reviewers to rave over their products . This along with their affordable price convinced people that don’t know the whole story . These quality differences in the node products make them sound better than the wiim. There will be others saying jthat using a separate dac will make the same output quality but it doesn’t because of mentioned above , even using as a digital transport the node will sound better. I have nothing against wiim products, they fill a big demographic and make streaming very affordable and that’s a good thing. But the quality level isn’t the same. If Bluesound could sell their products cheaper to get that market competition they would but they can’t because they are on a higher level.
It’s not case , bluesound uses much higher quality parts and design implementation in all their products which is why they cost more. Wiim is cheaper because it uses cheaper parts and basic implementation . If Bluesound could sell them cheaper they would but they can’t because of mentioned above. Wiim was very aggressive with their marketing and quickly sponsored RUclips reviewers to rave about them . That along with the affordable price convinced people that didn’t know the whole story. Some people will say using a separate dac will make it as good but it’s not true because of above mentioned. Even as a digital trans port the node will sound better. You get what you pay for, granted the further up you go the percent becomes less but it’s still true. The nano is affordable because some of the standard node’s connections are absent and some other internal differences ie no onboard power supply. But they still made a good little package with a very decent dac. I have nothing against wiim they make great value products that fit anyone’s budget but they aren’t at the same level as bluesound just like bluesound isn’t competition for an even higher level streamer. Cheers 🍻
@@Audiodreamer192-24 WiiM is trying to open up HiFi equipment for everyone. Are they the best in the world nope, but the fact that someone can get an amp for £299 that will connect to your TV and speakers or fit on a shelf in the office whilst looking decent is why these bigger companies are all of sudden creating streamers that do the same thing and this includes having to make them cheaper. There are not many small systems that will deal with a sub and basic room correction at the price of the WiiM Ultra. For the life of me, I just don't understand why audiophiles simply don't understand this. Not everyone has thousands of pounds, some people just want to play music at a decent quality. And the fact that the Ultra can connect to your TV is a bonus whilst having ease of use software and an easy setup.
DH Labs Toslink Glass Master 😊
Excellent footage. Looks a great show!
Still listening to and enjoying my T43 tuner and EVO CD player. Unpretentious and great sounding gear.
Mucho Blah Blah Blah for bloody overpriced cables MADE for NASA,my ass !Dr Solheim Norway!
Nordost is pure GREED!
Interesting that the Thorens New Reference also uses a similar technology to Minus-K from Seismon in Germany for isolation.
I'm a little picky here, at 6:17 Mark D mentions the Ariston RD-11S with a SME IV - I don't think this existed at the time, it came after the introduction of the SME V in 1986.
It was likely it was a SME III
Theres just something "British craftmanship" about a Spendor. Whether its the unseen detail of crossover layout , wiring route , tightness of the screws , quality of the fixings , depth of lustre on the veneer finish, you know what i mean , you get it sitting in a Bently . Its just something intrinsic to the brand.
I have mentioned to Mark that for the same money, I prefer his Helix One to the Linn Sondek LP-12 50 (I was at the launce of the latter & talked to Gilad Tiefenbrun of Linn). No surprise Linn hired Sir Jony Ive (formerly of Apple) on the design, as both brands are intended to work within their own ecosystems!
I think it deserves a facelif
it's timeless!
C’est un bon casque mais il as malheureusement trop de distorsion dés qu’on monte le volume c’est dimanche
In your opinion, what would be the ideal room area for this speaker model?
My favorite speakers of all time Very musical
Absolutely LOVE your speakers. For me the best in the world!!!
They are my favorite compared to the old KEFs 103 which were also made in the UK. The new KEF’s are made in China. Although China has state of the art factories, still not as good as the UK
見た目だけ
Can I get a pair of free wamm speakers? I will not be picky on the color, what ever you have laying around will do😊
I hope that one day I could fly to Germany to enter the Munich high end show. One day or maybe many days in the future.

What Is the quality of the cross over parts AND the drivers in the A7 and can they be switched out for better without hassle? I think its reasonable to assume that if these were upgraded it would be well worth it. Cross over parts quality is critical, but good cross over parts can be many hundreds.
I can do everything I need to with IIR and digital delay where required in an active system just using REW, JRMC and a multi-channel Focusrite DAC. No need to waste money on DEQX. If there were a need to go FIR it too could be done with convolution on the PC without DEQX. I just can't see why anyone would want this stuff which will become obsolete in one or two years whereupon he will call it "legacy"!
Mark is one of the smartest most humble people in the audio industry. I spent half my time at the Sydney hifi show in audio ecstacy with the Nirvana Sound dream system. One million dollars this system cost. Mark is a genius story teller who has also a formidable knowledge of hifi in general. The only question he could not answer was ...what are this week's lotto numbers? Lol. This incredible system is that good that after spending 3 hours on an otherwise other train journey due to delays ...my adhd kicking hard.. 3 songs from Dire Straits on the Dohmann Helix one centred my universe ...its that bloody good. Besides the incredible turntable made in Melbourne Duntech and Halcro products featured here. Also Ypsilons mind blowing phono stage and a Cessaro preamp and some very serious cables were delivering the goods. This is hifi at the highest level. Clarity Space Dynamics Soundstage and depth in spades. At a Dohmann masteclass years ago he stated music should explode out of the grooves.....here indeed it did. Buy anything Mark Dohmann sells with absolute confidence. It's the people behind these products that really enhance their value. Great interview.
I'm starting to wonder if adding a Aqua La Scala MKII Optologic Dac would have more of an impact to a hifi system🤔
What is the "box" material. What is the shell made of? It's funny how hard it is to find this info? Anyone?
I want to buy a pair to listen to and a pair to store in a humidity and temperature controlled vault.
Excellent review..
nice, but how do you level the speakers on uneven floor. for the price they need to do a outrigger so make adjustment easier
A2 is one of the best speakers I've ever heard! Thank You very much! Best regards from Bavaria.
The man who brought us the Heybrook HB1!
Scary price tag..$$$$$$$
Chông nó thật đẹp ❤❤❤❤
22:52 Ah! So we've finally found the culprit who mislead the entire industry down into the speakers on spikes cul-de-sac? What's better, he's actually admitting it! Interview? This is more like a confession.
I'm absolutely not a B&W fan yet i absolutely like those. They're just so different!
35RPM? 45 RPM'S?
God damn those are some ugly speakers. Probably they're made to sound soo good that you will close your eyes.
Good music!
My Creek Destiny 2 amp has been a gem for the past 12 years... Once my son takes over my current rig, it then will be a pleasure to upgrade to the Voyage i20...
Now they just need a carbon fibre skin finish!
I still get excited when switching on and listening to my Evo 50A integrated. I will never sell it. What a gem of an amp! Excellent PraT, better than decent resolution, and a listen all day non-fatiguing sound signature. All with included balanced XLR inputs, and balance + tone controls if needed. Thank you Mr. Creek for making such affordable audiophilia.
The native resolution of the 0.65" DMD is around 2700 x 1500 and flashes 2x to get to 4K not 1080 and 4x flashing
why I play the lottery, these are!
This is silver plated finish or polished aluminium?
Excellent interview - great questions & a great guest
when designer lead the engineer, bulshit speakers.
