Chromecast audio is great for the money i paid £20 for a reconditioned one and works great. my first step into streaming and I enjoy it not yet added a better dac but will try that before i change the CCA
Chrome cast audio only has 2.5 mm
You can get an HDMI audio extractor and plug it in between the Chromecast and the TV. The audio extractor usually has a couple of RCA phono outputs. Something like this:I also want to use my iPhone X to stream cheaply onto my olive naim amps. I already have a chrome cast currently plugged into my TV.. but, mine has an HDMI cable - how do I go from there to an old naim? I’m not really in a position at the mo to buy any kit but would love the convenience of listening to music off phone through my active old naims
I had been trying to find a 5-pin din to USB cable and then plug my phone charging cable to it. But as it was proving so hard to find I worried if there was a reason and I could damage amps?
Except android and for that reason my money was spent on Bluesound.it's a winner all round because it does the lot all in one small neat package.

No one's mentioned the Auralic Mini - that's gotta be a contender. It's the swiss army knife of streamers - has lots of features and connectivity options (spdif, optical, usb out) - also accommodates built in storage - it's a winner all round because it does the lot all in one small neat package.
