I just discovered the long discontinued ChromeCast Audio has a toslink out!
How did I not know this?
Anyhow... hooked it up to a Windows machine and it's a little jittery, so hooked it up to an AudioEngine DAC and then to the Windows machine and it's clean... the anti-jitter of a good DAC and the cheap as chips ChromeCast Audio actually shines.
This is now my setup.
Do I hear the difference? Nope, of course not. It was good enough before and is still good enough, but still... optical to a good DAC now rather than the ChromeCast Audio DAC.
