Purely for entertainment, this diversion from the usual audio topics still attracts some interesting audio-based discussion.Two separate listener questions about Chromecast audio devices feature as the questions of the week, and the guys help make digital source decisions, like whether to use a high quality DAC along with a DSP, effectively doubling the amount of conversions going on.The album of the week features an incredible Norwegian pianist and his just released and impeccably recorded jazz album.
