• I purchased an Onkyo A9150. At a mere $345, only $50 more than an A9110, it seems very nice indeed. Huge improvement over the little Chinese Class D thing I was using. And far more musical than the more expensive NAD stuff I have home demo'd.

    Currently have Toslink > TV and an RCA to 3.5 > iPhone/Laptop whatever else.

    Are Chromecast Audio's still worth buying even at $50 from eBay? If not, what are my alternatives? AptX Bluetooth dongle? Toslink/Coax output would be nice.

    Not that up on all the alternatives, but I really like mine and I keep meaning to buy a couple more - one for my outhouse, and a spare.

    I've been staying at my folks for a bit and really miss it so may buy one to leave.

    Also if you don't have a huge place and have a Google hub mini you can often voice activate it. Our hub is in the kitchen (as a kitchen speaker) then when I go to the sitting room I move it, or if needed shout down the hall to pause etc. if I go upstairs or to the door.

  • Yeah, I can't really find an alternative. I haven't considered the Home Mini purely because I'd like the optical output of the CCA. Will just bite the bullet and get one me thinks.
