Plex can also cast to the Chromecast Audio, and may be easier for some. Easy way to play your local files.
I have been fascinated with the discussion here about 'Chromecast Audio' - I just got one and have had a bit of a nightmare setting it up. Reading this thread prepared me for something of a rough ride, thank you all for that.
I'm all set up now though, using 'Spotify' - with good performance (no dropouts) - not quite as good as with a CD on my player but very good nonetheless.
Overall I am very happy, as this device has dragged my analog (except for CD player) system into the 21st Century, and me with it, thank goodness.
BTW: Mine runs just 'warm to the touch' - nothing to worry about.
Absolutely! - There is so much music that 'I think I want' - that I can't decide what to search for first!Be prepared for more music than you know what to do with!!
I returned the CCA to Best Buy and got a fire stick 4k. The audio quality is not as good as the CCA , but maybe it needs a bit more burn in .
I thought this was about the Chromecast Audio (CCA), not a Chromecast (that does video).
Maybe that's why audiobliss couldn't get the SQ he was looking for, and why it was so warm to the touch?
CCA get a bit warm too, nothing crazy though.
My audio only CCA only mildly warm compared to my own body heat/hand when holding it.
so it’s time for a few hours sitting down with the vinyls.
Dave & Edna Vinyl? Lovely couple...
You may want to subscribe to Tidal's 3 month trial for $1.99 to see if you can hear the difference between Tidal's lossless stream vs. Spotify's lossy stream.just got CCA for $15 at Wallyworld. Plugged it into my miniwatt tube amp connected to Klipsch bookshelf speakers, enabled wifi, got 90 day spotify trial for $3
Very HAPPY with the sound and functionality! I'm hooked.....
wish SiriusXM app would get on the CC train!
