    Default Cable to connect an Ayre QB-9 DSD to Chromecast Audio

    Hi all,

    I need to get a digital cable to connect the above but I'm struggling to find one.

    The Chromecast Audio needs a 3.5mm jack plug and the only digital input on the dac is a type B USB (both male). Anyone have any ideas where I can get one or will I need adapters and/or the like?

    Thanks,

    Steve.

    The 3.5mm socket on the CCA is an optical output

    Ah, so does that mean they will not be compatible?

    It will only work if it has an optical input

    It only has a single input (a usb digital). So I'm guessing I'll need another streamer to use with it?

    It's no big deal as I was looking for a higher quality streamer in any event but it would have been handy to listen to the dac running and compare.

    Oh well......
