I have a PC/Mac that is setup to connect it's USB out to a DAC then to amplifier and speakers. Is there a Mac/PC software that I can install to turn it into a Chromecast audio receiver? So that I can discover the Mac/PC as Chromecast audio device on Google Home app, and then cast audio from my mobile phones. Important to me is to be able to play music to this device over wifi in my Spotify Mac desktop app. Although this speaker system isn't specifically listed as compatible with Spotify, the device does support Chromecast, which Spotify Connect appears to support.
After many, many years, you can now initiate a Chromecast stream from the Spotify app for desktop. You’ve long been able to control Chromecast streams that were initiated from the iOS and Android apps (via Spotify Connect), but now you can initiate those streams directly from your Windows or Mac desktop.
The news comes via Spotify Rock Star MattSuda — as they note, you’ll find the feature in desktop app version 1.1.38. In this version, you can simply use the usual “devices available” menu to see available Chromecast devices.

This feature is a long time coming. If you’re a regular Chromecast user — as I am — you’ll probably relate to the frustration of not being able to start a Chromecast stream from your desktop. In fact, this was one of the benefits of running the Spotify mobile app in Chrome OS desktop, and running the iOS version on an Apple Silicon Mac would have allowed this functionality as well.
