Now we need a $20 google audiocaster. It would kill the airplay speaker market for android devices. You can hack it with a $20 hdmi to 3.5mm audio adaptor, but then it becomes a $55 device.

I'm somewhat surprised there is no ethernet in this player. For some places, wifi just doesn't work in their environment.




Bluetooth is not a replacement for wifi audio.


I bought a dirt cheap bluetooth audio receiver and that seems pretty close to sufficient.

You can solve this with a Chromecast plus a VGA to HDMI adapter with an audio jack input.


In my experience bluetooth speakers require a lot of pairing/un pairing work and extra menu taps, while wifi speakers are one tap once you've set them up.
