    Hello,

    You should be able to connect the Chromecast Audio into the Node's ANALOG/OPTICAL INPUT port (you may need a TOSlink adapter if going over Optical -- one comes in the packaging with the Node), and then in the BluOS app select Optical Input mode to switch the Node to that source, which should then play through your connected DAC.

    Regards,

    Hi, I reconnected a Chromecast Audio with the analog input but when selecting Analog (which shows up) it doesn't play the music? When I connect the same chromecast in the same setup to a regular speakers it all works well. In the last this also used to work. Is there another step I am missing? Did sth change in the setup?

    Hi Rene

    Nothing odd here as it should be a regular analaogue device - it could be as simple as you are dealing with 2 independent volumes here - please ensure the volume is set to 100% GC4A adapter if that is the case. Also, note in my experience when playing with this some time ago, I was getting a ground loop if I used the USB port of the Player to power the GC4A but that went away if I used a USB to AC Power adapter and plugged the GC4A into a separate independent power source.
