Chromecast Audio

[Pau1]

Just read an article that Google are releasing the Chromecast Audio which will turn any active speaker or Amp with an Aux input into a streaming device that will play music over your home wifi network. Its going to retail at about £30 which is far cheaper than any of the streaming devises on the market.

Big question is how good will the SQ be compared to the competition such as the Arcam miniBlink and rBlink or the cheaper QED uPlay Stream?

There are no solid reviews on this yet so any thoughts?

We've had one in and have been playing with it over the last two days. Not a full review yet, but our first impressions:

We haven't done a direct A/B comparison with the miniBlink, uPlay and others, but will soon.

Thanks Andy,

Any idea when the full review will be published?
