Is Toslink out of CCA always set at 24-bit?
Ignore my original question, it turned out to be D50, not CCADidn’t know that.
So, where does that leave your original question?
Since this thread is 22 pages I started skipping my way through it. It looks like when it was tested it showed terrible distortion through the optical out but then it was determined that it depended on what software it was receiving the data from....is that correct? And then appears that maybe this was fixed at some point? Is that all correct?
So these are no longer sold, but if I can locate one used.....will this enable to me work with Roon and connect my Yamaha wxc-50 to Roon? The wxc-50 has a optical input but it is a dlna device that does not support the Roon format (except it has Airplay but that downconverts high res to 16/44). Would I be alble to run the Roon server/core on a computer then hook a Chromecast dongle into my wxc-50 optical in and be able to play music from Roon? And also be able to control the Roon core using the Roon phone app (or phone browser may be better as their app may still be buggy)
Thanks for any info!
Yrs to
That's how I use them. They are recognized as Roon endpoints, so it really is about as easy as it gets. No issues with anything up to 24/96. I have 6 of them grouped...great system. They go used for about $50 I believe...
I also stream from Qobuz and Tidal directly and have never had any issues.
Noticed that you stream directly from Qobuz to CCA. Do you mean casting from the Qobuz app on Android? The reason I ask is that although songs played ok at 24/96, I had problems moving to the next song on an album or playlist. Just wondered if you had similar problems.
Second @BDWoody experience. Tidal via roon on pc, select CCA as endpoint, optical from CCA to dac, up to 24 /96. I assume the yamaha can accept 24/96 through optical. Given it isn't a dinosaur I don't see why it shouldn't!Since this thread is 22 pages I started skipping my way through it.

Version of what, sorry?May I ask what version you are using on Android? I’m on the latest version v5.9.0.2.
I‘ve got the same problem on two Android devices, casting to two different CCAs and a Chromecast video. Have never had any problems whatsoever casting from Spotify, Tidal, Amazon - only Qobuz!!!! BTW it’s nothing to do with 24/96, as it’s the same with 16/44.1 and even MP3.
No probs.Jimbob,
Sorry, I got my reply mixed up, I meant to reply to BDWoody.
My problem is with Qobuz, not Tidal. I wanted to know which version of Qobuz BDWoody is using on Android.
Nothing like that I can recall...just tried it by itself and all seemed fine. I usually stream through Roon, but they all seem to work fine however I'm casting.

Phone controlling roon no probs . Also, works fine just casting to CCA from tidal app on phone
Do you guys know for certain if Google made different versions of these dongle CCA's that looked pretty much the same? I just want to make sure that all Chromecast Audio devices sound the same and function the same before I go to buying a used one.
