it looks like there is an interesting thread about this and according to
google the device itself is actually capable of gapless playback but the
app needs to support it - I can't confirm myself which apps have been
modified (at one stage it was google music and Spotify, but the last
comment said this feature was broken with a release of CCA firmware) -
it's hard to read the truth in that forum posting;
https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=745

In terms of volume equalisation, right now all my listening comes from
Spotify streaming and tunein (as I haven't had the time to re-rip my old
CDs into FLAC), Spotify themselves have an option to equalise the
volumes of their tracks, meaning this is a non issue for me - so taking
everything into account, the chormecast audio still wins the day for me
- it's a far simpler, modern and cheaper solution that really does work
well (at-least for me). All my playlists currently refer to Spotify
tracks.

thanks for your comments - i guess i was always a lightweight
squeezelite user and the two features that i really wanted (multi room
audio sync and native Spotify app integration), either weren't available
or didn't work consistently (especially the sync on wired and/or
wireless).

I'm going to pull out the hifiberry daughter board on one of the rpis
and re-purpose it as a Home Assistant server; https://home-assistant.io/
