Is that what you're saying?Cut-Throat

My goal was to connect Chromecast Audio to the powered speaker in the garage via digital TOSLINK. It sounds as good as the RPi+BOSS setup, but I didn't really do an A/B compare of the BOSS vs Chromecast Audio analog out.
Not clear what this thing actually does.
This thing is just a cheap streamer with support for many mass market streaming services and players that reside on Android and iDevices. It works off Wifi and has 3.5mm analog and TOSLINK optical output.
It's main appeal seems to be consumer streaming but it also has support for Roon, and CT mentioned there may be support for LMS. It also supports up to 24/96 which is better than AppleTV or AirPort Express. And did I mention its only $35 and ready to go?
Worth a try for $35!
...and CT mentioned there may be support for LMS
Not for me as I have a bunch of 24/176 and 24/192 content.

Ah, but do those higher resolutions even make a difference in many secondary systems, like garage, workshop, bedroom, deck, etc? I wonder if LMS will automatically downconvert to 24/96 or lower so Chromecast Audio will handle the playback? Or will it just choke and lockup?

The difference is not being able to play them!

Out of the box, it will not. I suspect the CC would be silent. There was a firmware mod written for the Touch to do just that - so long as you used the S/PDIF output.
The Chromecast Audio is a very handy little device. I use mine for a portable speaker on the outside deck. Works really well with Spotify Connect. I've gone back to Tidal, and find that using it's web interface with the Chrome web browser it's a snap to cast the audio to the CA. Money well spent.
yes, I'm very impressed with the CA especially at its very reasonable price.
