True - but I'm not sure DLNA casting will support direct casting to Chromecast. You still need an intermediary device (I could be wrong). The Icecast style solutions do support direct chromecast casting, including multi-room. And yes, I know DLNA casting is a superior tech - but sometimes you...

Definitely a workable answer. I wanted the stream everywhere model though, so I went with a Raspberry Pi Zero W - which was dead cheap. What I didn't expect, but works great, is multi-room - sync is spot. So my backroom or other speakers plus office speaker can stream at same time if several...

UPnP into the WiiM is pretty much the opposite of this discussion though - that allows the turntable to stream to the WiiM. But we have that already via regular LineIn which can take any Phono/Line in (such as a turntable). The discussion here was how to Chromecast that out to remote speakers...

Looked at that one with interest - the streaming descriptions though all talk about UPnP. Possibly I'm missing something, but that suggests still needing an extra box to do the Chromecast part. So it's not really bringing much to my mind over what a PC/Raspberry Pi can do with a turntable with...

Agreed. My point was that with AirPlay no longer an option, at least WiiM adding Chromecast support could provide an altenative for wireless casting to speakers. Many remote speakers support both AirPlay and Chromecast (all of mine do, bar one which just supports Chromecast). I know it wouldn't...

Yep - agreed. Honestly, the latency does not bother me - it's just a short delay, and then the stream plays great. Just seems a shame that WiiM would drop AirPlay and give up on such an easy and obvious route to offer Chromecast support to streaming speakers. As a unit, teh Pro is now useless to...

Just got this working on Windows (and Linux supports it too): https://dupontgu.medium.com/how-to-stream-your-record-player-throughout-your-home-for-cheap-fb044368a240 The concept is simple - cast a digitized stream over HTTP (essentially using the same format that Internet radio stations use)...
