Think of the Chromecast Audio as an SB Receiver replacement (i.e. screenless networked audio aplyer ) - similarly it just has digital/analog audio out which would plugin into your DAC or preamp etc. Assuming you have an LMS already set up - as I see it the advantages are * cheap / quick to setup * not dedicated to LMS - easily shared with smartphone apps etc. to play music and if proper Chromecast supported app - audio comes from net (i.e. no excessive battery usage relaying network, once playing smartphone can even be turned off) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
