Hi, I’m wondering if anybody’s using a chromecast audio direct into their dac, and if this is considered to be a good enough signal, with minimal enough jitter and noise?

I use a Chromecast into a CA Dacmagic 100 using mainly spotify.
I find it pretty good on the whole, but it's the secondary part of my system. For £130 odd quid it's a bloody marvel really!
Depends on the rest of your kit, your source that is being casted and your expectations I suppose?
Great little device. A pity they discontinued it. Funnily enough it probably still is the cheapest roon endpoint in the market.
Have done for years in two systems. Modern dacs re-clock incoming data and so are jitter agnostic.Hi, I’m wondering if anybody’s using a chromecast audio direct into their dac, and if this is considered to be a good enough signal, with minimal enough jitter and noise?
If you have a full fat MQA DAC, it's possible to stream Tidal Masters via ChromeCast Áudio. You just have to use the mconnect App (at least it works in the paid version).Yes, using mine straight into a mojo. The mojo is set to line into the back of my amp and it sounds absolutely great. The Chromecast is set to Hifi mode.
I use chromecast as my secondary source, for Tidal and BBC Sounds, and have a turntable for serious listening. I mention this because a friend of mine is digital front-end only and found it frustrating that Chromecast can’t handle Tidal Masters streams, reverting back to Tidal Hifi setting only.
Probably the best bang for buck ever. Not the best sound quality as a streamer though.I use mine for SoundCloud and BBC Sounds. Runs into a Chord Qutest and sounds rather good. The analogue output is pretty good too (Mini output is both analogue and optical).
Huge bang for buck.
