    Budget amplifier(s) for multi-zone setup?

    Hi all! I'm an audio novice and new to this forum. I'm hoping to retrieve your support in which amplifier I should get for my budget multizone project as I'm currently going back and forth on this matter... I'm currently renovating my house and have invested in both Lithe Audio and Micca...

    Sonos Port. Any thoughts?

    I recently picked up a free Onkyo TX-8050 with protection issues. (for another thread) The person threw in a Sonos Port as part of the package. I've never had a Sonos product, but I am looking for something to replace my aging Chromecast Audio. I did a little reading about the Port, and I have...

    Most noticeable DAC upgrade over a Chromecast Audio

    Nope. I don't need it. But might want it. Lots of DAC vs. Chroemast DAC threads out there. Not trying to rehash the insanity. Just want to know what DAC's y'all think truly sound better to the naked (nude, dare I say) human ear. Graphs and charts are fine- but I'm more looking for, "yeah...

    JVC DVD Cinema System TH-R3 wont registre Optical Cable

    I've recently bought a Chromecast: Audio to connect my JVC so I could play music with the use of Spotify or other digital music applications. I then discovered that connecting it to the JVC was not possible with the cables shipped with it, so I decided to buy a 3.5mm.minijack-optical converter...

    Chromecast Ultra into Denon AVR-3500H.... good enough?

    Hello everybody, I should start out by saying that I am not nearly the perfectionist that many people on this forum are. I mostly listen to Spotify and Plex FLAC for my music. I’m thinking about going back to Tidal, but need to know if my current setup is worth it or if any relatively simple...

    Chromecast Audio in an Apple ecosystem

    I just ordered a NOS Chromecast Audio as a way to stream Spotify via my iPhone through my analog receiver setup. I have some questions though: Will it sound decent? Can I stream at 320kbps? Can I do everything via my iPhone, or do I need to do it from my MacBook Pro? Can I simply run a male...

    Headphones with built-in Chromecast?

    Does anyone make such a thing? I know there are some speakers with Chromecast (Sony, B&O) on the market but I haven't seen headphones. Seems like it would be an obvious addition to Googles home assistant line. A microphone would let you query the assistant. It would have much better range...

    My backyard hammock system with CCA

    I picked up another Chromecast Audio at the $15 holiday price. With a battery charger it's portable within the wifi radius. Of course i would be simpler to just connect headphones to my phone but with CCA incoming calls and texts won't interrupt the music. Any thoughts on how the CCA DAC...

    Chromecast HDMI vs Chromcast Audio optical out.... is there a difference?

    Hey there, I currently use a 2nd Gen Chromecast running through an Oppo BDP-103 to stream music to my main system. I also have a Chromecast Audio and DAC I could use, but the ease of use of the single Chromecast for Audio and Movies is really nice. Is there any sound quality difference...

    Spade Help for Realistic STA-2000

    Hey All, Long time lurker - first time poster. I've had an Realistic STA-2000 in storage for years - it belonged to by grandfather. My brief perusal of the forums leads me to think this should be a decent receiver - maybe not Sansui or Marantz good - but decent. Its 75 WPC. My Fiance had it...

    Chromecast Audio - Tell us you success stories

    My issues aside, I think it would be interesting to hear from people who use one or more CCAs and have no problems with it. It would be most helpful to hear what exact device you use for your wireless access point or wireless router -- and configuration details that made a difference. I...

    Raspberry Pi server to multiple ChromeCast Audio devices

    Hi - New to the site and new to streaming audio, but I've been into hifi since the late '60s. Currently I'm setting up a semi-vintage system for the office, with a NAD 7140 (donated by a generous friend!) and Paradigm 3SE's, using ChromeCast Audio (CCA) as the source playing either Spotify or...
