I would like to see Chromecast offer a dongle employing a higher quality DAC and possibly MQA support with the HDMI dongle. This would be an amazing time for Google to offer a product based on this type of device due to the hugely increasing market share of lossless streaming. When can we expect a product from Google that will compete directly with some of the higher quality external dacs that are necessary to achieve higher-end lossless audio and DSD etc?

If you are using Chromecast with Google TV, you have the option to connect it to powered USB-C hub and use use hub USB port to connect a very high quality audio DAC with USB connectivity.
Then, you can acces the Chromecast device developer options and set it to route the audio to USB, working at a sample rate of 96 KHz.

I'm sorry, Google stopped making the Chromecast Audio device over 3 years ago.
Google will not say if they are working on a replacement device or not.
