Just to be sure, we called in the girlfriend for a listening test and indeed, the sound via the Chromecast was also found to be bland compared to the sound we get via spotify connect. When I forwarded the same music via Spotify connect (native on receiver) and then via chromecast I noticed a world of difference, the sound of the Chromecast just wasn't what it was via the Marantz function. My Chromecast is connected to a Marantz 7009 receiver which has spotify connect functionality on board. What for me personally is much worse than receiving the mediocre 5GHz is the sound quality when casting music. While I can play HD perfectly with my laptop thanks to a cheap sitecom micro wifi 5Ghz antenna, the Chromecast has problems here in the same location, a bit of a shame (I think I will soon purchase the utp adapter so that my Chromecast can use the spacious and stable cable bandwidth. In several YouTube videos, the device suffered from stuttering sound and the image did not seem to run very smoothly, presumably the reason for this is the somewhat poor reception of the built-in WiFi antenna. However, there are also some lesser points about this device that I hope will be fixed in a later firmware update. all went very smoothly via the Chromecast app, the operation is great in its simplicity. Forwarding Youtube video, Spotify music etc. The setup went very smoothly, even a child can do it, hats off to Google, they managed this beautifully. Ease of use is so great, and that thing is on every day at my house.Д¬oolblue, you have a new customer too, what a top store with top service.ДЄfter reading the super handy features of this dongle on paper, you decide to order one immediately. It is not a replacement for a comprehensive large media player. What an invention, and for so little money. Your phone simply tells your Chromecast what to do and what to open, so you're not actually streaming from your phone but directly from the source.Д¬hrome has committed to supporting and developing the Chromecast for a long time, so your $39 will last a long time, and only get better. screen and audio can be cast to the Chromecast.ДЄpparently it also works with a special technology that you don't stream directly from your phone so it costs you virtually no battery life on your phone. Also, Chrome is working on better development that you can use your entire P.C. They are also still in development so they will probably support a lot more in the future. Netflix, HBO.GO, Youtube, Spotify,, your browser screen all 1 press the button and voila it's on your T.V. You use your phone as a remote control, or via your P.C. follows a super simple step-by-step plan, connect to your wifi and go with that banana. Via the Wifi you send what you want to watch or listen from your phone/PC to that dongle and you watch/listen it on your T.V. I also get the chance to watch hilarious movies while I wait, and I kid you not it didn't matter but I came home the next day with a package.ДЄ Chromecast is an HDMI dongle, just like a USB stick, but for your TV. Password doesn't have to be 3 numbers 7 capital letters and a strange character, fantastic! No account needed, but I'll make one anyway. but they don't sell it? I Google on, Amazon has banned the sale because that thing competes too hard! What a bunch of bullies.Д¬hromecast already sounds good to my ears, so I want it, so I immediately remove my Amazon bookmark (I don't buy from bastard shops) and ask my well-informed colleague for an online store that I can trust.ДЄt 23:30 in the evening I order the Chromecast on my phone from coolblue in less than 30 seconds. So no food for a week and I'm going to order that thing from the best fastest most beautiful webshop in the world.ДЄmazon. Sounds ridiculously cheap and it may be nothing but exactly what I want. So after all alimony I have about 40 euros left, what should I do with that now? My colleague points out that Google has a device for a few tens with which I can Netflix and YouTube. I get to choose the color, the size, and the price! Now I can buy a media player with my own money without a fuss! I can finally decide for myself where each of my hard-earned euros goes. Thing crashes more often in a week than the euros it cost. So my ex runs off with my media player, interesting. TL DR: Just buy this thing, at Coolblue, now. I just want to share my experience about how I made my best purchase ever and immediately discovered one of the best online stores in the Netherlands.
