Sleeper Hifi

I'm not sure if there is any meaning,

Sleeper cell in the spying world.

I think we need another look at how we are using the term "sleeper" .
Does it have anything to do with cost of device?

Nothing whatsoever, like nearly all the comments in this post.

Precisely, however it is poorly explained threads like these that give others the opportunity to spout anything they want it seems.

I would argue that the Apple Airport Express is a similar thing as Chromecast Audio. Very happy that I bought one second hand after they'd gone out of production. Still a great way to add Airplay to existing audio equipment. There's even a firmware update to Airplay 2 available.

Not really.

With Casting your phone/tablet/PC is really just an interface/controller for the Chromecast.

With Airplay the idevice is acting as a server, it's more akin to Bluetooth

I think their point wasn’t regarding the specifics of the functionality, but that both are now discontinued, however would potentially still sell quite well. That would certainly apply to the Chromecast Audio based on the number of comments I’ve seen indicating as much.

What we need to understand is what sleeper means in Hifi. One of Google's definitions of sleeper is a support to a super structure.
It could be that sleeper is the power source and DACs, amplifiers and speakers are the super structures in that sense.

Do we though?

As the original poster what exactly was the point of this post? What specifically had you seen, heard or read that made you ask initially? You agreed with my initial definition but keep coming back saying something completely different.

Sleeper exists.
