Yeah, you can kind of tell, I think Chromecast Audios are the same thing.
Either one of the Google founders / board members still use them and love them and won’t let the company discontinue them, or one of the original engineers / PMs has risen up to the point where they can keep allocating support budget to it.
Yup, and they’re still hard to find a reasonable priced replacement for, so still go for like double their original price on marketplace.
The only downside to them is that they struggle a little bit to playback lossless audio. So you can’t play Spotify lossless off them and I found that they would occasionally crash when streaming Tidal / Quobuz lossless. I’m pretty sure this is just a thermal constraint though and you can fix it by taking off their case (some people even add heatsinks to them).
