• Roon fixed the gapless playback I believe. Google don't appear to care. It's amusing that Google created a standard but seem to have no inclination to make it better.

    I'm with @ChainBreaker on prop apps. Chromecast just seems to work for Spotify, Tidal and BBC Sounds.

  • Yeah, but Roon is also expensive.

    I've actually just got an old macbook connected to my DAC via USB, now. It's in my cabinet with the laptop lid closed. I control tidal/spotify on the laptop from my computer. Works perfectly for my needs. No streaming apps needed. Nothing third party. Works a treat. Same premise as having a Pi streamer I guess except I didn't have to spend any money.

  • My point is that if Roon can fix gapless playback then Google could; they just can't be bothered as it isn't a priority.
