Description
Chromecast Audio has dual outputs in the same 3.5 mm jack. One is the standard stereo analog. The other, by use of a cable you need to buy, is Toslink digital optical output. The appeal, and the scenario for testing in this article is that by addition of the Chromecast audio to your own DAC using Toslink you immediately turn your DAC into a networked streamer. Concern however has been raised that the Toslink output has too much jitter to be a good interconnect. In this article, I will be digging into this aspect of the device. In a future article I will measure its DAC and analog output performance.
The Chromecast Audio is a tiny round dongle. It has a USB jack for power and the aforementioned 3.5 mm jack. Here, you see it connected with my switching USB power supply and the special Toslink to 3.5 mm cable:
