Do it. Blame me if you want.

price is back to £30 now it appears, unfortunately

I tried using the USB power from my Philips speaker but got a lot of interference so had to use the plug included.

Is anyone using these with USB power from a speaker itself? I tried but am getting a lot of interference (speaker is a Gear4 Xorb)

Just ordered my 3rd. These devices are awesome! Easy to connect and control. You can also group them so they all play the same music. Very useful. One tip - check out the "full dynamic range" option on the settings. If your amp/speakers can handle it, it's worth turning on. Makes a significant difference to the sound quality.

Excellent little device use with Arcam irdac via optical cable. Sounds fanastic. Just make sure you go into settings and change sound to High Definition.

For what?

You're welcome

With regard to the deal on eBay - that's where I got my 2nd. The only issue is that it takes a few days to get to you. Using the Currys link, you'll get it next day for free.

Bought this yesterday. From win10 laptop only casts Chrome browser content (couldn't even find the extension from the setup procedure...):really?
From my Samsung S3 only casts tunein, not even youtube or RadioUk (which are a cast-enabled apps). Google cast app doesn't show me the "cast video/audio" option, and same for my partner's Iphone5.
If this is how it is supposed to work this is a totally useless device.

I bought one a while back for £30 from PC world and its very good, not many apps support streaming audio so you have to choose the stream all audio from device option, the only issue I would say is the chromecast gets slightly warm. Heat added.

I need one for the toilet so i can get away from the wife and kids. I wont have to worry about hearing " we want to change channels". While i'm in there i might as well have a dump(bombs away is what i say when i release them) after all thats what toilets are for. When i leave the toilet i will be a few pounds lighter and i will have been able to watch my favourite tv programme in peace, Yes i am gonna get one.

:smiley:

I was joking ... doubt there is anybody not aware of ebay offer

Cheers OP. :smiley:

Well .. You do now

I have Bluetooth speakers in the rooms I want to listen to music on, which can be used by any device without need of an app. What do these give you? I understand that it's just a way of streaming data to the device which decodes it into analogue signal to play through existing HiFi or powered speaker, so you need that extra equipment as well to use it. Do they use WifI or BT? It says you need an iPhone or Google app, yet it also says you can play from Windows, so how does Windows do it and why do you need an app just to stream music to another device? I don't know about Androids or iPhones, but my Windows phone and laptop can play music through my TVs and media players and the Bluetooth speakers natively, no app required. Sorry for all the questions, but I fail to get the excitement for something I have been doing for years already and seems to require extra equipment everywhere you use it.

Really ? We didn't know that...

there's a better deal posted on here - £14 on ebay

I have my MP3s on a microserver running Server 2012. Will this be fine to play the music on an old amp through an iPad?

good find

What's with Currys always having these on sale? I'm beginning to question their £30 RRP now.

Do it. Blame me if you want.

Am at 7 now and would still like another but other half is less keen on the idea to add ceiling speakers to bathroom. :smiley:

I'm going to have to build an extension.

Is it right that you can't use AirPlay with these? What else could I use to send my iTunes music from my phone to this chromecast that's just as easy?

Thanks! I missed this last time by one day.

What do they do that's life changing? Make me want it!

I'm on my third one now

BOOM.. reserved.. cheers OP

Noooooo, don't need another.Or do I

Had none... Until now!

Can't be any hukd regulars left now who haven't got at least two of these...

Great devices though.

Best £15 ever spent, great piece of kit!!

Perfect price for these, need one for kitchen
