HIFI YOUR WIFI.
Bluesound uses your home wireless network, and sets up quickly. With advanced Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and a blazing-fast ARM Cortex A9 Processor, Bluesound ensures that there are no skips or delays in every corner of your home – even when streaming high-res audio files.

reviews
"For those people looking for a nice, simple, convenient and good-sounding one box/one app solution for ripping CDs, playing your ripped and downloaded files, streaming music from Internet radio, Rdio, Slacker Radio, and Qobuz, and purchasing music from HighResAudio, the Bluesound Vault has got your number and its one of one in today's' marketplace. Just add an iOS or Android device as a remote and you'll be rollin' in tunes in no time."
- Michael Lavorgna, Audiostream.com, January 21, 2014, review of original Vault model
"The Vault is something new to this product category. It's a CD-ripper with a 1 TB hard drive for storing your digital music. The Vault can rip CDs in the lossless FLAC format (or as MP3s if you're not concerned with high resolution). In fact, it can rip into both formats simultaneously. You can connect it via stereo outputs to a sound system and… stream the stored music to your other Bluesound components."
"The entire system is designed for easy setup with no computer required. Users operate it with a smartphone or tablet BlueOS app. Music from the Vault includes cover art to make it easy to find the album you're looking for. Playlists can be created on the fly. Each component can be controlled individually, or grouped, so users can play different songs in each room or the same music all over the house."
"I was able to listen to all the Bluesound components in a hotel suite in New York this week. The performance was pretty impressive on all of them, but what stood out the most was the Duo combined with a Power Node. Even in a room with 20-foot ceilings and one floor-to-ceiling window, the sound was powerful, detailed and offered a three-dimensional soundstage."
