Pioneer and Onkyo slip Chromecast support into more audio devices
Owners of some recent audio products from Onkyo and Pioneer don’t need a dongle for Chromecast support anymore. At CES in 2016 Google announced a push for Chromecast support in more audio products, but it’s taken until now for updates adding the feature in many of last year’s receivers, Hi-Fi systems and other devices. Once they’re updated, all it takes is being on the same WiFi network with your smartphone, laptop or Google Home and they’re ready for all kinds of casting or multiroom audio — check below for a full list of supported model numbers.
