When streaming from the Tidal or Spotify Apps on an iPhone, Chromecast is not gapless, but when streaming a flac file from a PC with foorbar2000 via BubbleUPnP to a Chromecast Audio device, it is gapless. So it depends on the client implementation.

How does it look if you measure this: Mac mini->D10s->E1DA->Mac mini ?

That looks great. What HDMI to SPDIF device did you use?

You should have made that clear. I am not sure you are in the right forum then. ASR is more about end user products, although there is some electronics discussions in few places.

A RME Babyface (any generation) operating in "Stand alone mode" will achieve that. They have built-in microphone preamp, and the quality is generally very good. The first generation can be found on Ebay.

You must have a faulty chromecast.

Not if you use digital out.

Are there different volume controls in the signal path, when you compare?

The Wiim Pro has Chromecast. As far as I remember, from my time with using Roon, Roon works very well with Chromecast

Thank you so much! This is very cool :-) One question: Why does the "EqualizerAPO ParametricEq" parameters change (a little) with Sample Rate? I thought parametric eq was independent of sample rate?

TIDAL does not have the money: https://gizmodo.com/jack-dorsey-block-tidal-jay-z-music-streaming-1850423469

It seems that Audio Research is in deep trouble: https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/whither-audio-research.36751/

But they already stream in lossless CD quality flac for everyone?

RTINGS has tried to quantize "soundstage". I find their ordering not bad: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tests/sound-quality/passive-soundstage
