Has anyone heard the Bluesound Node Icon streamer DAC?


I’m reading high praise and I’m looking to upgrade from my Mytek

The Icon uses a built in switch mode power supply like all versions of the Node except the Nano which uses an external ‘phone cube’ switching supply. If you try out the Icon and like it, as suggested by @bassbuyer above, adding a good external supply will elevate the sound quality further.

On the power supply point, I own three nodes (no Icons) and it's a distinct upgrade to use even a mid range DAC.  I also upgraded the PS with an Sbooster kit (easy and fun) but can't say it's "distinct" improvement.

I heard it, seems pretty good for the price. Not a giant killer. The feature set is good though. If you wanted to use Dirac for room correction (extra license fee involved) it seems pretty unique in offering that. Otherwise just a decent unit, nothing more nothing less.
