The frustrating thing is that Google is discontinuing the CCA because they see it as a redundant device (with all the smart speakers flooding the market right now with Google Assistant built-in).
It's frustrating because Google advertised the CCA for this use case (thus the digital output feature). I guess the market for this use case simply isn't big enough for Google to maintain....sigh...
I absolutely agree. Roon/Tidal/CCA=lossless bit perfect. Amazing value for $15. Would have helped had they included even a 20 cent mini-tos adapter so those who had relevant systems could use optical. Most don't even know it's there...
I just bought up a handful more of them... Most places are already out. Staples online I just got 4. $15 each free delivery.
Bargain of the year.
