Chromecast Audio has a nice price, presumably because Google is setting the price based on a mixed calculation (you don't just generate revenue by purchasing the hardware, but also by using more Google services).
IMO, the way to exploit the cheap hardware is by hacking it. Google Cast's strength is it's polish and ease-of-use. But I presume it lacks many of the advanced features I like about the Squeeze ecosystem. Does the Chromecast Audio, when used in conjunction with Squeeze2Upnp, support (i) tight synchronization, (ii) ReplayGain, (iii) gapless playback, etc.? If it doesn't, I don't find the device all that exciting. Although, you know what would be really cool? Squeezelite running on a rooted Chromecast Audio! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ poing's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63617 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
