I am using a J-Tech converter. I stream either FLAC from the chrome browser and cast that tab, or I stream google play music unlimited.
FLAC of course sounds better, but the google play music isn't that bad at 320kbps.
I have 3TB of FLAC files ripped, and another 3TB backup, so total 6TB stored. I use an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server with 2 external HDDs. I encrypt them with LUKS and use the ext4 file system.
You can make html5 pages of albums and just load them into chrome browser and cast the chrome tab and it sounds wonderful.
I also enjoy using internet radio, to spice things up.
below is a link to html5 audio test, FLAC works in ChromeOS and Chrome browser on my chromebook.

So Toslink out to the DAC? What frequency does to go up to, 24/96?
You are using the Chromecast stock, not rooted?

I have the SPDIF version, the Yaqin at Toslink and SPDIF DAC goes up to 24/192sounds great and I can switch between Solid State or Tube output stage, upgraded the tube to a Electro Harmonics...
I am good to go!
Also got a DAC that cost 6x the cost of the Yaqin, noticed that the SS Bel Canto is just too analytical for enjoyment, I use it when I want my head blown off....
have a good one! Chromecast is stock!
