Roon Expands it’s connected devices to include Chromecast
New York, NY – July 6th, 2018 – Streaming juggernaut Roon Labs announces the ability to stream from Roon to all Chromecast products with its new release. Music can now be streamed to Chromecast Audio, Google Home, Google Home Mini, and Google Home Max. Audio with cover art and artist photos can be streamed to Chromecast Gen 1, Gen 2, and Ultra. With Roon you can now stream high-resolution gapless music (up to 96kHz/24-bit) and apply Roon’s powerful DSP, including EQ, room correction, headphone cross feed, and more.
Roon supports grouped playback on Chromecast devices via the Google Home app. Using the Google Home app, you can set up groups of Chromecast devices, which then appear as “zones” in Roon alongside other supported hardware products.
“We are excited to expand the ecosystem of audio devices that work with Roon to include all Chromecast devices. Streaming hi-resolution music to devices throughout your home has never been easier or more cost-effective.” – Enno Vandermeer, CEO of Roon Labs
Chromecast sits alongside current Roon offerings like Sonos, Airplay, Roon Ready, and Roon Tested products. Chromecast will be applied through a Roon update to version 1.5 build 333.
