I use apple music to stream as does my wife. It's convenient and I don't see that changing. We both use iphones.

Current equipment for living room audio
Yamaha rx-v379 AVR
Audiocast RCA into the Yamaha
Klipsch Heresy I

  1. How crappy is the Audiocast internal DAC? that's what I'm currently using
  2. Would Chromecast HDMI letting the AVR do the DAC yield audibly better results
    1. can I stream apple music to chromecast device with iphone?
  3. Is Bluetooth just as good as these options considering the apple music source
  4. Part of me thinks the best option is to just order another Denon x3500h even though it's complete overkill for my needs. Airplay built in. PLEANTY of power....I don't need any of the video features though. Sonos Connect costs almost as much and doesn't do nearly as much with way less power.
