I wanted to ask you if you liked the new Google boxes? Let me remind you, this is Chromecast 2.0 for video playback and Chromecast Audi o for music playback. They cost 35 dollars. Are you going to buy? I was especially interested in Chromecast Audi o. For starters, here's a commercial for the new consoles.
The premise is simple, watching movies and listening to music on normal speakers is very simple, all you need to do is spend $ 35, connect the set-top boxes to the TV / speakers. Both set-top boxes are round, Chromecast Audi o connects with an audio cable, plus another power cable.
The photo shows how the device is connected to an already wireless Sony speaker, why was this done? The fact is that Chromecast Audi o allows you to stream music over Wi-Fi, which provides better sound quality, in fact, it is analogous to AirPlay (and AirPlay allows you to stream ALAC). Any speakers, be it a small wireless model or 'floor standing' can be used with Chromecast Audi o, except for 3.5 mm 'optics' and RCA connections are supported.
The second point is a kind of Cast button that allows you to instantly transfer music to Chromecast Audi o. Moreover, as far as I understand, you can use your smartphone for communication, you can watch web pages, the music will not be interrupted. In general, everything is more interesting and interesting. A find for both conventional and even wireless models.
