I had read about them in these forums and thought it must be toylike at that price. But the only toylike part is the compact hockey puck looks! As far as performance goes it is great bang for the buck. And they do also output digital over a 3.5mm to optical mini toslink cable if your system has digital inputs too. |
Greg I agree if the vintage receiver in my PC room and second system would accept anything but analog signals. So as the Chromecast pucks cost just $40 each and output to l/r rca analog it works very well for my application. And they use just a simple app on my phone the BubbleUPnP so its not much of hardship. My main rig is Ayre QX8 which takes direct internet for streaming which is where I control using the mconnect app which is just about all Ayre and Krell to name a couple allow to work. |
Greg Before I sold my Bluesound Vault I too used its control app via my phone and was always happy with the results tbh. So much so that I have never even seen the need to load a windows version as my PC room system has a simple Google Chromecast Audio hockey puck in it which is accessed via BubbleUPnP. In fact listening to Tool through it right now. |
I too have been using Qobuz since its USA inception and it did not take very long to deduce that 24/96 and 192 hirez stream a sounded much better than Tidal MQA even fully unfolded. Dropped tidal and stayed with Qobuz. Now as far as Windows issue I would have to say ... Don't know as never tried it. I stream direct into my Ayre QX8 just using either my android phone or iPad as a control for the mconnect app. No issues at all even though the mconnect app is not the best in the world. Have also streamed Qobuz very easily using Google Chromecast Audio devices controlled by Bubble,UPnP on my phone with zero issues. Who needs Windows? Lol. |
