"As we exclusively reported earlier this week, Google is working on a product called the “Nest Mini,” which is a second-generation of the Google Home Mini. We’re told the product will feature better speakers, some proximity features, and a built-in wall mount, too. That’s all very cool, but what’s got me most excited is the inclusion of a 3.5 mm audio jack.

While our source didn’t explicitly tell us what this is for, basic reasoning should make it obvious that this is intended for having audio from the Nest Mini output to another, better speaker."

Too much to hope for a combo analog/optical out like on the CCA? Even if it's just analog, that's good news. I hope the DAC is decent enough...

If I'm not wrong, nest mini can be paired to active speakers with bluetooth. See nest mini's settings in google home app. Anyone tested?

Or is this pairing supposed to be between phone and nest mini? I'm not sure.
