Comparable in size to a hardcover book, this small yet mighty system instantly transforms any space I rebooted the Powernode Edge, restarted my phone, paired the C500s to my phone and unpaired and then paired again—still no connection. And when the C500s finally did show in the list of found devices, I still couldn’t get the app to stream to them. It took some 90 minutes before connection was somehow established. This was the only glitch I encountered with the Powernode Edge. We reserve the right to refuse installation should our engineers think that the existing electrical or plumbing points are unsafe and in need of maintenance or if they are unable to install to existing furniture. But after that, the Bluetooth connection remained robust. I was able to move throughout the house without losing connection. I did notice, though, that the volume dropped as I moved farther from the unit and needed to be adjusted to stay at the same level.

There is a lot of really good equipment out there in the HiFi world and Bluesound has contributed heavily to this streaming revolution. The BluOS streaming controller is still the best and most consistent platform out there, in my view. If you’re after a compact, sleek second system, an AV upgrade, a desktop solution, or even if you are starting out, this is a fine reliable flexible platform on which to begin a system journey.

As an improved version of the streamer with built-in preamp RS250, HiFi Rose introduces the new RS250A, which promises various upgrades. Having found the Powernode Edge so enjoyable in two-channel stereo, I was keen to listen to it with the Pulse Sub+ subwoofer in a 2.1 setup. The BluOS Controller app makes it easy to turn the subwoofer on and off and make adjustments on the fly. You can tweak crossover frequency, fine-tune subwoofer level, and adjust phase so that the sub and main speakers blend seamlessly. After some experimentation, I left the crossover point at the default 80Hz and bumped up the volume trim to around 4dB. This gave me a satisfying sound without overemphasizing the bottom end.

Like other Bluesound streamers and streaming amplifiers, the Powernode Edge also carries controls such as play, pause or volume on its housing and is also said to be ready for integration into BluOS multi-room or surround setups; due to its compact size, it is supposed to be especially well-suited for smart home applications, to which the wall mount included with the device also wants to contribute.

If you’re looking for a streaming solution that offers excellent sound, ease of use, versatility, and just plain fun, the thoughtfully designed Powernode Edge deserves serious consideration. Place it in a small- to medium-size listening room, bedroom, or office; combine it with suitable speakers; then get ready to have a blast. I did. That perception changed when I turned on the Pulse Sub+. It was as if Glover’s bass part had been doubled, with a lower octave now present, his instrument appearing more prominent in the mix. When I turned off the sub and listened to the same tune again, it sounded leaner. It wasn’t unpleasant, but I preferred the sound with the subwoofer engaged—it was more rounded and complete and had greater depth and muscle.
