Seems like a good use-case for the chromecast audio (RIP). It lets you stream to it over wifi and connects to the receiver with 3.5mm to RCA cable

- dsr_ 4y agoWhich is especially nice if you install Owntone ( https://github.com/owntone/owntone-server/ https://github.com/owntone/owntone-server/ ) -- now you have a nice web interface for playing music to any or all of your systems.
- bryanmgreen 4y agoOne of the best dollar-to-performance purchases for home audio.
- psalminen 4y agoIt was also an spdif optical out which was super nice to hook into a better DAC.
- JohnBooty 4y agoYes, although the actual streaming was lossily compressed, which more than negates any gains from using a better DAC. (edit - this is incorrect; the Chromecast Audio was apparently updated at some point to support lossless streaming)
- jensgk 4y agoNo, that is not true. Chromecast streaming is lossless, so it is certainly possible to stream hi-res flac files bit-perfect.
- JohnBooty 4y agoThanks for the correction. I think Chromecast Audio initially didn't support lossless streaming, but at some point it was updated to support it? Regardless, thanks, and I updated my post!
- Melatonic 4y agoStill using mine to this day You can also put multiple chromecast audios in a group in google home and they will perfectly sync audio across multiple rooms like a ghetto Sonos setup!
