Recently replaced a lost Chromecast Audio with a Pi Zero + Dac (PCM5102A). No difference in sound quality but the Chromecast is much more convenient in terms of Android app integration. Spotify Connect works well on Volumio (Pi distro) but no such luck with Soundcloud and Mixcloud.
Annoying thing about the Chromecast, with Spotify, is that you can't start a playback session from a computer. You can start casting from Spotify on your phone, and then control it on your computer through Spotify Connect, but you can't use Connect directly from your computer on the Chromecast. The Pi setup is better in that regard.
