Er zijn wat beperkingen aan de Chromecast Audio, maar die staan helemaal niet in verhouding met de vele voordelen die het biedt. De zeer bescheiden prijs maakt de aankoop van een Chromecast Audio eigenlijk een no-brainer voor iedereen die streaming aan...

Kan kopplas in i alla möjliga högtalare och anläggningar. Enkel installation och handhavande. Möjlighet till multiroom. Förhållandevis lågt pris
Varför inte billigare än vanliga Chromecast? Vissa appar har inte stöd för casting
Google har tydligen ett mål att göra det trådlösa hemmet enkelt tillgängligt för vanligt folk till en rimlig slant. Den lilla pucken är lätt att plugga in i ljudingången på existerande högtalare eller förstärkare och installera med appen. Sen är det bara...
