Qobuz...

I now have Qobuz and Tidal on both of our smart TVs, my computer and phone. I used Chromecast for each TV, downloaded Miracast on my phone and the rest is history. I wonder why they discontinued Chromecast? Seems to work really well.
 
It was a loss leader for Google to entice people initially to use Google Play. They are now trying to sell the Chromecast infrastructure to manufacturers to include with their streamers then get back a fee for every unit sold. Easier than manufacturing "disposable" $25 devices and probably the same or higher per unit return. Naim is probably the largest manufacturer using Chromecast for now. If you use it's optical output into a better DAC it is an acceptable way to try out streaming.
 
just signed up for Qobuz "Studio Premier" CD and Hi-Res quality for $14.99 (price for limited time)


so far, nice and easy interface and works great with my Lumin streamer and very good sound.
