Interesting about connecting the chromecast via optical. I honestly didn't know you could. Have googled a bit and will likely get a cable for this as my amp has a port. Does the external dac make a discernible difference to you?
Yes sure does. Much more detail going on. Your amp’s DAC is likely to be better than that in the Chromecast so it’s only the cost of a Toslink cable to have a try.

It was digital out, not digital in. Probably explains why I didn't try it 3 yrs ago when I got the chromecast. At least I checked before ordering things. I really don't belong in this thread do I 😉
