AV receivers with Google Cast (Chromecast) support

Google cast (Chromecast)

— google Cast allows you to send music, internet radio, podcasts, and sound from compatible apps to home speakers over Wi-Fi, turning a receiver into a network player without wires and USB drives. Unlike Bluetooth, there is usually less dependence on distance and a more stable stream because, after starting, playback goes through the receiver, and the smartphone or laptop remains a remote control for pause, volume, and track switching. Compared to AirPlay, this option is for the Google and Android/Chrome ecosystem, and it is often convenient because Google Home can merge devices into multi-room groups. Typical uses include playing Spotify/YouTube Music on floor-standing speakers in the living room, quickly "flipping" internet radio from your phone to the receiver, starting background music at a party and managing the track queue from a smartphone, or outputting sound from a lecture/stream from a Chrome tab to a full-fledged home system.
