Google outs Chromecast Audio

In addition to the Chromecast 2.0, Google also unveiled Chromecast Audio, a small device that plugs into your speaker for streaming music through WiFi. It connects to the speaker via aux/line input, RCA or optical digital out.

Once connected to the speaker, you will be able to stream music to the speaker from iPhone, iPad Android phones & tablet or laptop. It has the same design and packs the same improved WiFi radios as Chromecast 2.0, which supports 5GHz WiFi in addition to the 802.11ac standard.

Chromecast Audio doesn't compress the audio assuring audiophile that the device wouldn't compromise on high audio quality. It can play music from Spotify, Google play, Pandora, or any other app that supports casting. It can also play music content stored on your device's inbuilt storage or microSD card.

It has a new feature called guest access, allowing your friends to stream even if they are not connected to WiFi. Spotify will also support multiple users at one, allowing one to skip a song if they don't like it, this feature arrives later this year.

Priced at $35, Chromecast Audio will be available across 17 at countries at launch.
