96/24 support for Chromecast with Google TV?

Hello @test_VV01 and welcome to the forum.

While this post and thread are old, I don’t see that Roon’s ChromeCast support has changed.
So if the Chromecast with Google TV actually supports an output sample rate of 96 kHz for audio streams and would also set the corresponding flag (self reporting the high-res support) then Roon would already honor that and allow playback audio up to 96 kHz sample rate. I was unable to find any official documentation/specification that shows the Chromecast with Google TV supporting 96 kHz over its HDMI connector though (and anything else seems to be unofficial and tinkering). But if he does, it would be best/easiest if Google would just set the high-res flag they themself specified for ChromeCast.

As this doesn’t look like something Roon support can help you with but rather a feature request instead to me, I suggest you add your vote to:

Note: I’m just another Roon user and can’t speak for Roon Labs.
