RE: thoughts on Spotify connect on the bluesound node vs. Chromecast with google music unlimited

I run a MacMini (latest version), feeding into a DAC via USB, than preamp, etc... Mac gets it's connection from a wireless router in another room. To control the MacMini I use a wireless track pad and keyboard. I have an inexpensive monitor wired in next to my seating position because it is much easier to read it than my big screen tv, which I prefer to have off when I'm listening to music. I've always bought refurbished Macs to save a little money and have never been disappointed. You just have to watch their list and wait for what you want. All I do is stream audio from iTunes, etc... Some guys here seem to put together very basic computers that appear to work very well and don't cost much. Maybe do a little searching on that.
