I have tried plex media server, and decided to just use it for photos,
movies, home movies, TV shows, but not the audio collection. For the
audio collection, I am retaining my LMS. It seems that plex is very
slow for larger collections by comparison to LMS. Also, the LMS is much
more configurab
No gapless playback and no ReplayGain support is a no go for me.

If ultimately a slimproto receiver could be build, that would be a much
cleaner solution that my bridge. Or if not, I hope they will release
their sync proto one day!

My primary reason for not switching is that I want an AirPlay option,
and Squeezelite + Shairtunes plugin works for that.
Secondary reason is cost. Even though they are only $30-ish, I have 8
zones running that only cost $7/each for USB soundcards. That's $56 I
won't get back, plus the $240 for c
For several reasons, First one app controls all my music sources and all
my players easily, my preference is Squeezcommander. I have music on a
NAS and several music subscription that I switch between regularly.
Second you just can't touch the coolness of a Raspberry Pi, a
touchscreen and a Hifi

CC uses Web Audio and gapless is not possible with webaudio as each
"file" will be separate http request.

No gapless playback? How can this be true? No gapless playback = no go.

Lack of ReplayGain is a complete deal breaker for me and I am surprised
it is not the same for most here. Do people not use playlists or
random/smart play?

This is correct

I have heard that CC-audio does not support gapless playback. Is this
true?
That would be the deal killer for me. I do not care about high bit rate
(mainly play mp3) but play a lot of live albums.

it appears that the dac in the choromecast audio is 24/192 but the
chromecast audio can only go up to 24/96 in its current form;.
For its price though nothing touches it (including the pi) - this seems
quite interesting;

Didn't know that !
The Google ethernet adpater looks interesting. Would be even better if
it was a homeplug though!

If you really want a CC can be wired with a USB ethernet adapter and Y

There's a SqueezeCC plugin isn't there? I see the thread, although I've
yet to try it.
Given that, I would rather use my CCs that way, with server software
with which I am familiar, rather than start again with e.g. Plex.
All depends on how good the SqueezeCC hookup is.
