Chromecast Help

Hi all,

After recently purchasing the Cambridge Audio CXA60, and a pair of floor standing speakers, I now want a way to stream content from my phone, without using Bluetooth.

At the moment all of my digital inputs are occupied by other devices. If I connected the chromecast to my TV, have the audio out going into my stereo receiver would the sound quality be good? I'm only going to be using this for streaming music. I would go CCA, but I'd then have to connect this via RCA, which would mean the CCA dac would be used rather than my stereo receiver?

Looking back, I now wish I bought Cambridge Audio's CXN.

The CXA60 only has two optical ports, one is connected to my PC, the other is connected to my TV out. I hate having to swap things around every time I want to use another device. This is why I wanted to have it plugged into my TV, then have the optical out going into my stereo receiver.

If I had a another optical port on my stereo receiver, I'd then go for the CCA.

I missed some vital information, my coax is connected to my CXC. Is the Audio out of my TV really a bad option? I've got my PS4 going though the audio out into my amp.

Thanks for the advice.

I'll try both of those options.
