a cheap music streamer with an MD deck

[Aaron Theeranit Pongtongmuang]

I would like to share an idea to create a cheap music streamer with an existing MD deck that we have.

Main idea

• Use a Google Chromecast Audio device to get digital input to an MD deck.
• Use DAC in an MD deck to get analog output.
• On an MD deck, select digital input. Press record on it and start playing a source.
  No need to insert a disc. A display will show "XX -DA", indicating that the unit's DAC is in use.

Here is an easy to understand of diagram of how it work.

I tried this a few years back. Worked really well. Unfortunately I've only got the one Chromecast Audio and it lives elsewhere in the house. It's a real shame they discontinued them.

@BearBoy That's true, so sad that they stop selling this product.
The price of Chromecast Audio is increasing now. I am not sure if it is from what people found we can use it to create a cheap streamer or not.

Here is the graph of Chromecast Audio price. It is from this video
