My dad would say: "Elektronik ist ein Teufelswerk!" (electronics is the work of the devil)So the WiFi aspect seems to be fine now. The connectivity between my device and the CCA is still a pain in the ass. I don't leave anything plugged in when not in use and I have yet to figure out the process involved in getting everything talking to each other when I power up. Google Home says my device is ready to cast but I seemingly need to talk dirty to my tablet to get it to recognise the CCA. Sometimes rebooting the CCA works sometimes I need to do that a few times. Sounds good when it is working. Maybe it will get better. If not it will make a nice target at about 300 yards.
If you get totally fed up with the chrome cast, maybe consider the Sonos Connect. There are other similar options out there, don't remember their names right now (JRiver?). Maybe just check out the "Home Audio Players" list at Tidal.http://www.sonos.com/en-us/sonos-vs-bluetooth
Bluetooth is also an option, albeit the sound quality would suffer. But maybe its "frequency" doesn't interfere with the WiFi going on in your house.
Personally, I prefer wires Blazing fast speeds to my home-build FreeBSD server. Never had a drop-out with audio or video, not even with 4k video.
If you have a laptop, maybe you can figure out a way to wire it up so that you can use it from your couch somehow.
