Great device
Super device, works a million times better than this ROCKI player.
However, I advise you to install BubbleUpnp on your mobile phone. This allows you to stream from various sources to a wide range of streaming devices. The app also supports Youtube and Soundcloud.Pro
- Simple set up
- High quality
Contra
- Additional app necessary (as only online music can be listened to in Google Play)
Solala
I bought the Chromcast Audio as an "extended" accessory for Google Home. To theoretically replace the Sonos. However, this is not possible. Watching films on the smartphone while streaming the sound is also not possible - because it is not snchron.
Pro
- Cheap
- Easy installation
Contra
- For music only - not YouTube or movies
- Synchronising with several devices is quite difficult
Absolutely recommendable
A must have for music fans or to upgrade the networkless music system.
Pro
- Quickly connected and playable for virtually any sound from mobile phone
- High transmission quality in contrast to the normal Chromecast adjustable
- Does what it should without any interruptions
Contra
- Unfortunately, Digitec did not supply me with a Swiss power adapter.
- Spotify only supports the stick with a premium subscription
Good
I am very satisfied. The only drawback is the time lag between sound and picture when streaming YouTube. But that is a technical problem and difficult to solve.
Pro
- Price
Contra
- Time offset of sound and image
Function ok, moderately satisfied...
Works ok, sound quality mediocre. Can only be used with Chrome or Android and must be streamed from online apps like Spotify. Youtube app does not work (because no video). Delay of approx. 1 second makes it impossible to watch a film with it.
Pro
- Cool and simple solution for streaming apps when set up
Contra
- Delay (distracting when watching a film via Chrome/Youtube)
- Handling (app required, only web streaming apps or Chrome)
Actually super
Does not work properly if there is a Jura coffee machine between the Wi-Fi router and the Chromecast.
