It seems like other audio boxes that have crossed my path allow for multiroom, multiunit support. So why doesn’t Chromecast Audio?
Oh. Wait. It does now!
Google announced today that it is releasing a new update for the Chromecast Audio that will bring with it two major features: multiunit synchronization and support for Hi-Res audio. This means that I can now blast high-quality audio signals while linking multiple Chromecast Audio units together throughout my house.
The Hi-Res audio support will now allow the Chromecast Audio to push out 96Khz/24bit lossless audio through my speaker system. With the right musical track and speakers, this could create a really clear and crisp listening experience.

The multiunit synchronization is something that’s becoming more of a default option, as more streaming audio shelf boxes roll out with the feature, so it’s good to see Google add this to the Chromecast Audio. Setup requires launching the Chromecast Audio app and creating a group, which requires adding multiple Chromecast Audio units in the home. Then I can manage what content goes to the group in the same way I would with just a single device.
