Yes indeed and may I take this opportunity of wishing all list members a Very 
Happy 2017
Why the change in direction? Well I don’t want to jump the gun of course but it 
would seem my audio and video streaming habits might change given I’ve just 
purchased the Chromecast II and the Chromecast Audio.
I’ve been using DLNA a lot in recent times as more and more devices I own are 
compatible with the streaming format.
Much of my streaming is either controlled or comes from my Samsung Galaxy S6 
and other Android devices so it made sense to see what I could get from 
Chromecast devices given the price of them in Australia, around $60 each for 
the audio and the Chromecast II Video and both I can use in different 
situations.
Obviously the Chromecast II would fit nicely into my surround-sound system 
where my Television and receiver are in the lunge whereas the Audio could be 
used in my Audiophile system in the Den, I like the fact that the Chromecast 
Audio has an Optical digital connection so I should get some pretty decent 
sound from that device.

Those of a positive and enquiring frame of mind will leave the rest of the 
halfwits in this world behind.
