The Google Home speakers are not even good. Here it is at Google, and it looks like most major. With so many consumers signing up with Apple Music with lossless audio, and Spotify HiFi (when it finally launches in Q4) - why is Google so unwilling to satisfy market demand? The good news is that you can still find the Chromecast Audio on closeout today, and for a pretty attractive price, too: 15 (normally 35). There’s almost nothing on the market below $179 like the Andover Audio Songbird streamer to compete with it. Why is it so difficult for Google to offer a new Chromecast Audio streamer with an optical output that can handle 16-bit/48.1kHz, gapless playback, and for less than $100? The Chromecast with Google TV (4K) offers 4K video quality, with Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HDR10+, while the original Chromecast 3rd Gen tops out at 1080p.
#Google chromecast audio Bluetooth#
This new “unnamed” device seems to feature wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, along with a USB connection for 5V charging - which leads us to believe that Google is going to disappoint us again with a new Chromecast TV model. Google has filed a number of recent FCC documents and one that caught our attention was one related to a new Chromecast device. If you’ve ever spent any amount of time reading new FCC filings looking for hints about new products coming soon, you probably need to get out more. We’re not big fans of the Google Home speakers and we know that a lot of people enjoyed using it with vintage audio receivers or with external DACs. Sorry I meant I have a Google Chromecast device that plugs into the HDMI port. Before its cancellation, the device was the most affordable out of Google’s Chromecast lineup and it’s available on eBay for a lot more money than Google ever charged.
Google killed the tiny dongle that made speakers Wi-Fi compatible. Sadly, the Google Chromecast Audio is no more. Wouldn’t it be nice if Google introduced another audio-version of the Chromecast? The Google Chromecast Audio was an inexpensive and decent network player that was even compatible with Roon.
