Easy setup!
Joe from Sterling Hts, MI on 1/23/2025
Surprisingly easy to set up. An old Samsung tablet with Spotify and BLUOS, a network cable plugged into a local switch and I'm off and running. Step two will be Tidal and Roon.
Pros: Easy setup, great sound, clean design.
Cons: None so far.

Big upgrade in sound quality from Sonos Amp
David from LK FOREST PK, WA on 12/31/2024
Upgraded from a Sonos Amp to this Bluesound NODE incorporating an old Emotiva Audio A-300 BasX power amplifier and the difference on my KEF R3 Metas is night and day! Actually shocked how much the sound improved. Bass now is much stronger so that I almost don't need SVS SB-3000 subwoofer whereas before Bass from KEFs via Sonos Amp was much leaner. Soundstage is wider and clarity is also improved. I purchased the N132 so that I can incorporate Dirac room correction to improve subwoofer integration when that feature becomes available. I use Amazon streaming and vinyl and I would say the Bluesound app software is just OK. Still better than Sonos app (sorry Sonos but you really need to fix your app).

Enhanced features make it a great option.
Paul from Arlington, VA on 12/22/2024
The Node N132 replaces an 8-year old Vault 2, which has given up the ghost. This Node has HDMI input, enabling digital audio feed from TV to Node, which I've configured to automatically default to HDMI whenever a signal is detected. Very convenient. It also has a USB digital output, which I've used to feed digital to my outboard DAC. That's better than via coaxial with the Vault 2. It sounds great. I like the BlueSound app to control. I'll later attach a NAS to my home network to store my CD collection and play from the Node.
Pros: HDMI input, USB output, user friendly app, easy to set up and use. Cost effective. Good support from BlueSound support staff. Small footprint.
Cons: None.

Great, Versatile Option for High-Quality Music Streaming
Alexander from Henrico, VA on 12/16/2024
Earlier this year I bought the prior version of the Bluesound Node, which has been the heart of my main upstairs music-listening system, connected to a NAD C 3050 integrated amplifier through a good external DAC, and also to a good headphone amplifier through the same DAC. I wanted to extend my listening options to the downstairs area in the house, and, when this new N132 version of the Node came out, it seemed to be the perfect option for that purpose. And it has worked extremely well for my downstairs listening options. At present, I largely use the Bluetooth transmission feature to listen to my playlists as well as Sirius/XM radio with my Bowers & Wilkins PX8 headphones. I also have the option to plug wired headphones directly into the headphone jack on the front of the Node. I have found that the Bluetooth transmission is very robust, and extends further across the downstairs area of the house than I would have expected, so I can listen to my music in several downstairs rooms. Overall, I am tremendously pleased with the features and performance of the new Noe.

Bluesound NODE (N132)
Jim from Canandaigua, NY on 12/9/2024
Crutchfirld is very easy to work with and very helpful. Order arrived on schedule. The Node(132) replaced my older Node about 9 years old. Very happy with the functionality and sound. There is definitely a cleaner,better detail, fuller sound than the older model. Worth the upgrade.

Well worth the upgrade from N130
GREGG from NASHVILLE, TN on 11/22/2024
I was struggling with whether to upgrade my N130, and I pulled the trigger this week. Oh my!! The N132 is far superior. My wife and I couldn't believe how much better the TV sounded (HMDI from the TV to the Node then analog out to Yamaha AS1200, B&W 603S2). Streaming Spotify revealed sounds in songs I'd never heard before. Very happy with this upgrade.
