Music streaming
I'am newbie to streaming music,I need to pick a music streaming service.
I listen to mostly rock,blues,pop and some jazz a little classical once and a while.
I purchased a used Auralic Vega G-1 streamer.
I was wondering if there is a way to stream my Youtube Premium music through my Chromecast notebook?
I don't think the Auralic supports Chromecast,but is there a way to do it?
Otherwise I just need to pick one of the other services.
I'm looking for ease of use and audio quality,but need to keep it simple.
Thanks.

Surprised no one has said it yet. Bluetooth for listening to music is not good. Once you go Hi-rez audio natively one a streamer, you will never go back! Youtube is horrible for audio. But can usually be cast over bluetooth. Have done it from my laptop a few times. If you like to watch videos, Tidal, has them, and sounds good. Only time I use Bluetooth is the sound bar in my bedroom, every time it makes my appreciate my 2ch system more. |
@twangy57 does your streamer come with a manual? it will tell you how to use it. generally, you open either the streamers app, or the streaming service app, there will be a connect button. Click that, then select your streamer. After that click on play. Sit back and listen.... |
The streamer app is called Lightning DS. You want to load it to your iPad. iPad is the preferred control device and I am sure will be much easier. If not there is a technical way to control from Macs and PCs. Here is an AI Summary:

While primarily designed for iOS, Auralic streamers also support OpenHome UPnP protocols, allowing them to be controlled by other compatible apps on Android, Mac, and Windows.
