I’m fed up of trying to make a echo dot permanently muted work as a Spotify streaming device for my powered speakers. The account management for a multi user household and linking specific Amazon accounts is broken. I want a device that allows basically any user on my home wifi nw to pick a device to stream to like a Chromecast.
I’ve been still shocked about the cost of a raspberry pi these days, but is 100 dollars for a bundle of components really the best option out there for a straight forward streaming receiver to connect to some powered book shelf speakers? Are there any other options under 100 bucks?
Is there known long term support for chromecast audio? 70 bucks seems pricey for older hardware where I don’t know if I need to worry about updates.
I think they don’t offer any support, since they don’t sell these things anymore. My Chromecast audio still just works though.
