Chromecast Audio Stuttering/lagging

PA streams the audio as PCM after applying it's magic to your flac, mp3, ... files. 

HiFi cast acts just as a server and only streams the compressed file directly to the Chromecast.

This means first of all that PA processes the file and then the stream is significantly larger than steaming a compressed file.

 I installed the Pulsar player which works perfectly on the same music and Chromecast audio device.  I switched back and forth a few times and in every case Poweramp paused and Pulsar never had an issue.  

So I guess the Poweramp developers are not listening.   And FYI, Pulsar is much easier to use.

I experienced audio stuttering and playback cut-offs also for a long time. After changing the sample rate in the chromecast settings to 44.1 khz the problems seem to be solved. All my chromecast speakers and the android device are connected to the 5 ghz wifi.
