Google inexplicably killed the Chromecast Audio as well, and it was an absolutely perfect device for a very particular niche (streaming audio to an old stereo/amplifier without needing a permanently connected phone as is the case for Bluetooth).

I hope mine still lasts for a long time (I believe there are some Google-signed certs on it that might expire some day?).

And they came with optical out. I have a couple as well and am hoping to get many more years out of them.
