Chromecast compatible streamers

[bjs]

Hi all,

 

I use a chromecast audio for streaming. Everything is fine when streaming from the NAS using Hi-Fi Cast app; however, when I use it for albums on google play music, there is a static sound between tracks. Online this seems like a known issue and also happens with Tidal. However, in trying to work out whether other chromecast compatible streamers had a similar issue, it was difficult to find a list of such streamers. I know of:

- Cambridge audio CXN v2

- some Nad products

- Pioneer N30AE, N50AE & N70AE

- Primare SC15 and SC5

 

Does anyone know of other chromecast compatible music streamers?

 

Cheers.

You can add Pioneer N30AE, N50AE & N70AE to the list.

The Primare SC15 has Chromecast built in.

Lifestyle in Parramatta tell me they are about to release the lower spec SC5 as well.

The Primare I believe also does gap less playback- a feature many streamers can't or don't. It means you can listen to  without a pause between tracks if that is important.  eg Pink Floyd "Darkside of the Moon"
