Bluesound POWERNODE Edge Compact Wireless Multi-Room High Resolution Music Streaming Amplifier - White

So far works like a champ. Easy upgrade from Sonos.

I needed an amp for speakers in an older kid's room. I wanted to reuse an old receiver, but it takes up space. There are wires, buttons to press, remotes, etc. I thought about a simpler solution. I already have BluOS devices, so it was only natural to get this new Powernode Edge. It is perfect. There are no extra buttons, no extra wires, it has enough power, and it is dead simple. It sounds excellent paired with KEF Q150. It is powerful enough to blow woofers into space. Luckily BluOS has a volume limiter, which helped (be careful; my device was set to max volume when I turned it on the first time). I see only two downsides to this device. It does not have a pre-out, so you cannot reuse it if you need more power. It also depends on the BluOS ecosystem, software, and service, so technological longevity is an issue. For myself, I decided that if it lived for 5-8 years, it would be a win. My kid and I are thrilled with this purchase.

Have this for my desktop PC setup that power 2 Bowers & Wilkins 600 Series 607 S2 speakers. Bluesound is amazing, the BluOS is great, and I'm even able to use my PC input and stream it across all my other Bluesound devices. I really wish this had USB audio input but the toslink input works great!

I had nothing but trouble with the blue sound edge staying connected to their app. I did the initial setup as well as the firmware update and all seemed to be fine. I would start streaming but the device would stop playing and I would have to unplug the device to get it to reconnect. Searched for a fix but nothing available. I want something that is a one time setup and works. I returned the edge.

This is a great quality amplifier. The unit looks sleek and works with most decor. It's daddy to hook up and produces great sound.
