    Chromecast alternative or similar for HD audio

    I am currently using Chromecast ultra to cast music from Spotify and SqueezeServer. Is there an alternative to Chromecast ultra that can handle HD audio (24bit 96khz and above) Let’s leave RPI options alone since it’s absolutely flaky. Any options?

    Media Server with iOS/Android remote that can cast to Chromecast without transcoding

    Is there a media server that can serve FLAC (24bit 96khz max resolution) to a Chromecast without transcoding. I have tried PLEX and it transcodes audio to mp3 or m4a. There should be a remote to browse the media on a phone/ipad and should be able to cast to Chromecast.

    Just an FYI for us Google Chromecast Audio users: it appears that Google has finally resolved the 24/96 bug that was causing glitchy playback at that rate. I just reenabled it again, after some months have gone by, in Poweramp (an Android music player with casting support for local content)...
