Play a file that’s physically on your phone through the aux socket using the chromecast cable. If it drops out it’s the amp.
just been experimenting, and it does seem that the amps ok. playing deezer from my phone to chromecast audio, i keep getting little split second stutters. not actually dropping the signal, but just tiny breaks in continuity.
go straight to aux cable and bypass the cc, its fine.
another slight difference is the volume level. chromecast i have to jack the volume right up which seems to amplify little ‘speaker crackles’. aux cable nearly deafened me so had to turn volume right down which obviously made any background noise disappear.
but….. i dont want my phone plugged into a cable constantly, i want it to be er…. mobile.
so, discounting the chromecast audio as my solution, what options do i have for something constantly plugged in, that can connect by wifi, connect to my phone wirelessly should i want to (either wifi or bluetooth), and also play deezer etc as a standalone app?
thanks 🙂
