It also supports RCA input. Content is streamed through Wi-Fi and not Bluetooth, which should lead to a better streaming experience and reduces the power drain.
The device also supports Guest mode, and will automatically work with devices that are connected to your home Wi-Fi network. You will also be able to cast audio to Chromecast audio through your PC and Android device.
What makes Chromecast audio even better is that it supports multi-room support, so you have have multiple speakers in different room play the same music at the same time.
Chromecast audio goes on sale in 17 countries from today for $35. It will also be available in the United States through Best Buy and Walmart.
