Sbooster Active Interface Boards ”AIB”

The Sbooster Active Interface Boards are designed to replace and upgrade the internal power circuits of audio devices, so that these audio devices can be used with an Sbooster power supply.

Our first AIB was initially designed for the Bluesound Node N130 only. After the release of the Node X, we have checked the compatibility with the Node X. We are pleased to conclude, that our AIB is compatible with the Node X.

Clean Sbooster Power for the Bluesound NODE

 Take the Bluesound NODE to a whole new level of performance with Sbooster's new Active Interface Board (AIB).

Sbooster’s first AIB is designed for the Bluesound Node N130 / Node 2021. The upgrade lifts the sound quality of the Node to the next level. The Sbooster Node AIB differs from all other existing Node upgrade solutions, because of its unique MAXimalistic upgrade concept, It improves on literally every aspect of the stock power supply circuit, starting at the power connector. The AIB uses Sbooster's special C8 connector with gold-plated pins, hand-picked audio-grade components, and silver-plated OCC wires. The two-layer gold-plated PCB is made and assembled in Bulgaria.

The triple anti-oscillation circuits stabilize both the AIB and NODE's internal power rails and an advanced central grounding point creates a pure reference for the circuits. In addition, the Sbooster Decoy V2 is used to move internal RFI away from the audio circuitry.

The design consists of the following parts:

  • Sbooster Node AIB;

  • BOTW P&P ECO 5–6V MKII upgrade power supply;

  • Sbooster Purified fuse.

Audio-Grade Components:

  • Sbooster-style C8 connector with gold-plated pins

  • High-purity silver-plated OCC wire

  • Gold-plated PCB connector terminals

  • Dual-stage non-inductive low-pass filter

  • High-performance active filter

  • High-performance hybrid capacitors

  • Two-layer 2 oz gold-plated PCB with low impedance, made in Bulgaria

  • Cryo treated fuse for the BOTW P&P ECO MKII 5-6V in the product package

The AIB sits inside the Bluesound NODE, and installation is easy and reversible, involving only a screwdriver. This "super NODE" is now powered using the Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO MKII 5-6V, set on 6V. Enjoy a profound upgrade to this renowned streaming DAC, one, that Wiebren Draaijer, owner/developer at Sbooster says, has a highly detailed sound with a 3D soundstage and powerful, deep bass response.

"In our opinion, we have lifted the playback quality of the Bluesound Node N130 to a level that is on par with music streamers that are many times more expensive."
