Hi everyone,

Just to specifically respond to Andrew’s initial post. I think you will find if you look into how we have typically updated our products over the last (almost) 12 years, we try very hard to ensure new software-based features become available to all generations. We still support our very first Node product, the N100, and it receives BluOS updates regularly.

Of course, there are features that are directly related to hardware improvements that we make with each generation. Many times, those hardware-related features cannot be applied to previous generations of the product, due to hardware limitations. This is normal in the modern world of technology. However, we try and build our products with a very future-focused specification, to keep them playing music and getting better and better for a long time after your initial purchase.

Your product specific question was about the Node N130 getting Dirac Ready and DSD support. First, Dirac. Our plan is to make Dirac Ready available on the hardware that can support it. We are still working through those details; currently the Node (N130), Node X (N131), Powernode (N330), and Powernode Edge (N230) are additional candidates for Dirac, pending certification.

Re: DSD. We anticipate being able to roll out this feature to all products that have a quad-core processor, as it is quite a processor-intensive feature. This includes all Bluesound products released since 2020, starting with the Pulse Soundbar+. Still in development testing for the previous gen models, but that’s our plan.

At this time I don’t have a specific timeline for the older models to get these features, but we will keep you updated as we know more.

Thanks for your continued support and for your great questions and comments here.

-Matt
