The most intriguing aspect of this is that some of the same propulsive edge that marked out the standalone Node is present here too. Bloc Party’s Alpha Games moves with real energy and drive to it, delivering the high speed vocal and dense drum routines with real vigour and bite. Some (but not all) of this can be ascribed to the Edge not being a bass monster of a device but there’s a definition and overall agility to the way it sounds that really helps high tempo music to come alive. Digital optical and analog input options, subwoofer output, and Bluetooth® wireless headphone output The POWERNODE EDGE connects to your home network via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Hands-free control is possible with voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Voice.

Featuring a built-in, 40 watt DirectDigital amp, you simply need to add your choice of regular (passive) speakers for top quality sound. For a powerful 2.1 (sub/sat) system, add the Bluesound Pulse Sub+ wireless or your own wired subwoofer for a boost in bass. Alternatively, you can use the POWERNODE EDGE to power the rear speakers in a Bluesound surround sound set-up. One final note on steaming lossless files, we are getting into the nitty gritty at this point. There is still some minor compression that happens in transferring the file via Bluetooth. Honestly, it is so minor that I’m not even sure you would notice unless your pouring tens of thousands of dollars into your hardwired system to prove me wrong. In which case, I concede, you win. With the rise of the digital age, the Powernode Edge will keep pace with support via the BluOS controller app for Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri to control your players around the home without any fuss or fiddling about. Small But Perfectly Formed Audiophile quality components/parts/chips supporting up to 24-bit/192 kHz digital audio are found under the hood of the Bluesound Powernode Edge.

Dare I say, the EDGE is pitched as fitting into a lifestyle that includes interests in addition to music: that’s the EDGE mounted to wall on the right powering the rear channel speakers You can also access music libraries stored on a portable drive connected to the amplifier’s USB port or on a NAS. This is where the desktop version of the BluOS Controller app comes in handy; it’s easier to navigate a complex folder hierarchy on a larger screen. Configuring the Pulse Sub+ subwoofer is also easier with the desktop version. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface.
