According to the specs, its a Bluetooth device not a WiFi streamer. But that aside, my guess is it'll sound just about the same as CC Audio (using an external DAC) depending on your home WiFi performance.
Low cost WiFi streamer : Google Chromcast Audio v/s Audioengine B1
I have been using Google Chromcast Audio ( $35-40) for past few months, using optical cable to take digital signal out and input into my external DAC ( Bryston BDA-1) , then Analog signal to Preamp and Amp and to my floor standing speakers.
I am thinking to buy Audioengine B1 ( $189) and replace it in place of Chromcast Audio :

My question is : Will I get any improvement in sound quality ( comapred to Chromcast Audio ) ? Or any other benifits I get ?
I am tempted to buy it but before that I want some feedback and suggestions from FMs here.
Thanks
