Might not be popular for audiophiles obsessed with lossless audio.
But Chromecast is very useful for non-Airplay users (there's hundreds of millions of people) that want to cast from phone to streamer.
And you should be able to use Qobuz iOS app and Chromecast to WiiM Pro - that will be lossless. No need to use WiiM Home app or other 3rd party app.
We'll see about gapless.
For me, I love to use Soundcloud and Mixcloud and podcasts, when not using lossless streaming , for music discovery.
In my case I can use Airplay to WiiM Mini because I use iOS.
But for someone using Android, now Chromecast on WiiM Pro opens up so many more options to cast, all in one device.
Don't need to use a 3rd party app.
So it is a big deal for lots of people.
Look at Bluesound forums for years of requests for Chromecast.
