In addition it should be noted that Chromecast works with all smartphones

An interesting link/slideshow:

http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow/story/326584/18-things-you-didn-t-know-your-chromecast-could-do/

particularly slide 7, "TV as a DJ", and most especially the link at the 
bottom which describes Google's new ($35) Chromecast Audio device. This 
device casts stereo audio (including high resolution audio) to powered 
speakers instead of TV.
