I don't really know why they stopped selling chromecast audio (outside of wanting to sell more speakers I guess), but I have (and had) a bunch of those and bookshelf speakers with Lepai T Amps. It worked great.

I've though since replaced most of them with Nest Audios, mostly for the WAF.

A hack is to use a regular chromecast and a hdmi to rca/spdif adapter/splitter. Works pretty well and you can get them pretty cheap (in the ballpark of $20). But it will be more expensive than the chromecast audio unfortunatley

A lot of those are really iffy in terms of quality - I had one which when run through my HiFi sounded like it was completely unshielded.
