Hey Chromecast audio users.
Do I need a Google account to set up and use a it? Are there any drawbacks, particularly as a Plex client?
I really don't want to hand over more data (or cash) to the 'be evil' company but I'm increasingly using Plex + Tidal for managing and playing my music (outside of my main network streamer, which is DLNA compliant so can see the Plex server), so looking for Plex clients that won't break the bank. Sonos connect is an option but I already have an assortment of DACs, speakers and amps in most other rooms so it seems like a really expensive alternative if I can grab a fist full of chromecasts for under a hundred quid. I was also looking at the more expensive Bluesound node but that has zero plex support and is even more expensive. Optical or SPDIF output would be preferred, hence looking at the Chromecast Audio.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for me please?
