It's difficult to do a solid A/B comparison with my setup, but I can tell the difference.
At first it seemed slight (it's hard to switch seamlessy back and forth between A and B), but I tried listening to some Latin music this morning and realized I couldn't hear the cowbell from the Chromecast and it came through loud and clear on the Sonos. There is a difference.
While one tends to get used to whatever equipment one has once the comparisons are done, I'm willing to pay a couple hundred bucks more if that means I can hear all the instruments in the recording.

jabrams235Do you need portability?

AudioFazeNo -- just going to connect the DAC to and optical cable coming out from the Chromecast Audio and then send the signal to my stereo receiver. Don't even need an amplifier and am guessing that I might be better off without one.

jabrams235You really need to A/B the EL and OL, most people won't notice a difference when using the same source and connection. 32/384 support is pointless if you're listening to material that was recorded at 24/192 or below.
