WORLD’S BEST HEADPHONE AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY

Lifelike headphone listening is made possible by THX AAA™ technology, the headphone amplifier that boasts the world’s most linear response. Its patented feed-forward error correction results in remarkably low noise and distortion, revealing exceptional soundstage and clarity. Connect your high-performance headphones to the left or right full-sized 1/4″ headphone jacks and enjoy audiophile listening without fuss or compromise.

The NODE ICON comes ready to intelligently fight bad room acoustics with Dirac Live, available as an upgrade directly from Dirac.

The result is clear, balanced, and detailed sound for your music and movie soundtracks. A calibration kit with a high-sensitivity microphone is also required and available from Bluesound with additional purchase.
