Fortunately, we were at the launch event and got the chance to take away a new Chromecast Audio to play with – so here’s our first impressions of Google’s all-new streaming device.

Hardware
Connecting up the Chromecast Audio is a simple affair. Just plug in the power, then connect the device to your sound system via aux (a regular headphone socket).
It’s a pretty tiny circular unit- measuring 51.9mm x 51.9mm x 13.49mm – and it’s certainly light enough to carry around wherever you like, as it weighs just 30.7 grams.
