Audio receivers with Google Cast (Chromecast) support

Google Cast (Chromecast)

— google Cast (Chromecast) in an audio receiver allows you to send music, internet radio, podcasts, and audio from compatible apps to your home speakers over Wi-Fi, transforming the receiver into a network player without wires or flash drives. Unlike Bluetooth, it usually has less distance limitation and offers a more stable stream because once playback starts, it runs through the receiver while the smartphone or laptop remains a remote for pausing, volume control, and track switching. Compared to AirPlay, it's an option tailored to the Google and Android/Chrome ecosystem, and it's often convenient because, through Google Home, you can group devices into multi-room setups. Typical use cases include playing Spotify/YouTube Music on the floor-standing speakers in the living room, quickly "casting" internet radio from your phone to the receiver, starting background music at a party and managing the queue from a smartphone, or broadcasting the sound of a lecture/stream from a Chrome tab to a full home audio system.
