I got a chromecast audio some times ago. But the SQ could not beat that of Moon MiND. So the chromecast is laying in the drawer.

Yes , data ? Ha haSubjective, unverified perceptions seem to be taking over here...

FifyWhat was that saying again? "The plural of anecdote is data"...
Doubt it, the cca maintains its output level via optical regardless of which app you cast from until you change it . May well just be mind tricks, but I wasn't expecting an improvement, I just heard one.Level difference?

Aye. Either way, I have Roon for other reasons so I don't mind if there is no actual improvement in using it. Never heard anything wrong when casting straight from Tidal etc direct to CCA. Shame they stopped making them really.That is not how confirmation/expectation bias really works.

Suspect there is more value in collecting data on peoples' watching than listening habits too. Maybe.Indeed - but they were probably making a loss on each one they sold.

Btw, between the USB (high quality AuCharm USB cable) running Tidal in Bit Perfect via Windows 10 PC and the Toslink via Chromecast Audio, all through M500, I can hear that the Toslink sounds a bit cleaner and thin (with slightly less bass rumble/presence) at the same time...wonder if that tells us anything...
Lol...I don't have any measurement devices...it's all I can observe..Uh huh...
am I getting the ideal jitter free output from my setup?

Thanks for clarifying mate...Hard to say...but I'm guessing these are all just casual listening impressions? In that case...no, it really doesn't...
I'm asking coz some members above reported that they were getting better performance out of the CCA via Roon VS when playing directly via Tidal App...Should be.
