actually it's the other way around: whatever you buy, if pretty cheap, will be outdated... in a few *weeks* :wink:

no caring bout dsd and stuff as i listen mostly to cd quality and tidal and for only few bucks i will not be upset if it gets outdated so fast :)

The Chromecast is fantastic for the money and if you d pair it with Roon, it sounds even better. I much prefer it to USB from my Mac soundwise. It goes up to 24bit/96khz resolution though only. No big deal so far for a £30 solution

can u put a link which one on amazon to buy

just another question why when i type in google --- chromecast audio the site tells me that its not supported in my country, does chromecast work only in certain countries

https://store.google.com/countrypicker

does it mean i have to use vpn, if yes then this is not a solution for me

Chromecast doesnot have built-in VPN or MediaStreamer DNS functionality. In order to useExpressVPN on your Chromecast, you need to connect your Chromecast to a VPN-enabled virtual router or router.20 Sep 2018“, according to google

I wonder if this is the kind of discussion that would fit with more relevance in the thread that @musickid created in the members lounge area

Chromecast isn't region specific there is nothing stopping it from working in Mars for example as long as there is Wifi and a device to set things up.
Amazon does not sell Google products so you would need to buy elsewhere, not sure what country you are in but eBay has tons for sale.

[QUOTE = "maxh22, post: 14582996, member: 450242"] O Chromecast não é específico de uma região, não há nada que o impeça de trabalhar em Marte, por exemplo, desde que haja Wifi e um dispositivo para configurar as coisas.
A Amazon não vende produtos do Google, então você precisaria comprar em outro lugar, não tendo certeza de qual país você está, mas o eBay tem toneladas à

Hopefully it’s something simple. The input light is white for USB, right?

Can anyone suggest cables to connect a media streamer (digital-coaxial-rca) to one of the bnc inputs on the qutest?
Thanks
If you don't want to spend to much Chord Clearway Digital Coaxial RCA TO BNC
