With a bit of searching I found the Localcast app on the Android store and installed it. I then enabled the DLNA server capability of LMS and a few minutes later I was streaming from my network music library.
I have the Chromecast connected to my Burson DAC/amp using a digital optical cable, right next to my Touch connected via USB. Initial comparison says the Chromecast sounds pretty similar but further time is needed to know for sure. It certainly doesn't sound bad. A while back I borrowed a similar cast-enabled DLNA device called Beep from my son and was able to "turn it into a Squeezebox" using squeeze2upnp. It worked just like a Squeezebox. Able to control it from any Squeezbox controller or app. The Beep had fairly poor sound quality so I didn't pursue it any further. I expect to be able to do the same squeeze2upnp thing with the Chromecast but won't have time to experiment until Saturday. I can report back if others are interested. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ markbrauer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63564 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
