2022 - Best music streamer under £750
"Bluesound reasserts its authority in the budget music streamer market"
"At this money, it represents one of the most entertaining and comprehensive ways of adding music streaming to your hi-fi system."
"If you need an affordable streamer right now though, this is the place you start looking. The new Node is compact and attractive and it has a specification that covers off most bases you might reasonably expect and ties it to an interface that is still exceptionally good."
