Hi.

Now that Chromecast Audio is discontinued, can I use Chromecast 3 for the same purpose... i.e., for each room, connecting CC3 into an amp connected to two speakers?

Since CC3 is HDMI and most amps are RCA, will I lose sound quality adapting from the former to the latter?

Thanks in advance!

You would need an HDMI audio extractor for each CC3. I suspect that you won't notice a change in sound quality. If you have better quality amps and speakers use a Sonos Connect or Denon Heoslink for much higher quality. You could also use Amazon Echo Dots or Connects which have analog audio outputs.
