it will default to fdr on optical

Yes was aware of that thanks. if you use an optical connection chromecast defaults to full dynamic range but if you use the 3.5mm jack you have to set dynamic range on, but if you use the optical wire you don't get a choice to select on for dynamic range in the 'google home' app, presumably because of this defaulting.
Why have it into your streamer and then the DAC, I would have thought straight to dac would be best.

I have been using Chromecast for six months now and I much prefer the server side streaming vs AirPlay. Its cheapness also makes it easy to get into many rooms.
Has anyone tried using an SPDIF iPurifier? Sounds like it may make a better upgrade than power supply.
Interesting review here: http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/20...level-results/
Just playing about with one of these as a possible replacement for my squeezebox classic. Mainly because its now no longer supporting Spotify.
Sounds good into my amp and im playing with the BubbleUpNp android app. I have 2 concerns at the moment though which i cant find answers for. Firstly i cant seem to find an option to play random tracks like i can using squeezecommander. This is if i just want it to play my whole collection on the NAS on shuffle. Can that be done using the chromecast? Secondly, does it support replay gain as all my files have that info in the tags.
Its not a major issue if it cant do those things as i primarily bought it as a cheap way of getting spotify back on my stereo but if its easy enough to do those two other things i may go for the smaller footprint and just run the chromecast for everything.
Incidentally ive been doing some A/B comparisons of the same tracks running from my squeezebox classic>Beresford Bushmaster>Amp and the Chromecast Audio>Amp and i have to say i cannot tell the difference.
are you using foobar and its upnp/dlna server to android then into chromecast? if so you should be able to. a while since i ran it but i found good sound wise. the bubble app isnt as pretty as many tho.
No, i used foobar to scan and create the replay gain data but im just running LMS on my NAS and playing that through the Bubble app into the Chromecast Audio at the moment.
When i use my Squeezebox i have an option in my Squeezecommander app that lets me play with replay gain or not but i cant seem to find an option to do so using Bubble?
Give this a read...don't throw the SB away yet...
