You know how Morten always bitch about software in HIFI products, trying to disconnect him with his music? This time he is impressed, and gets some of that magic he missed so much back. We test the Latest Bluesound Node (N130) and compare it with the old one for sound, dream about how to use the smart Alarm feature and test out all the features. This is a review you got to watch!
