Streaming audio from mobile to Windows PC (Roon Server)

[adakadavuley]

I have set up a Lenovo TinyPC as a Roon Server connected via USB to the Topping E30 DAC, which in turn is connected to my amp. This operates as a headless PC and is not connected to any display (we don't have a TV)

Roon allows me to play from Tidal, Qobuz and local sources. However, a lot of times my wife wants to play music that is available only on Youtube from the phone. Youtube has lot of live recorded music that I would like to stream irrespective of quality of the audio.

What is the best (easiest) way to stream from my mobile to the windows PC? Is using a bluetooth adapter the only way?

I tried a trial of Airserver but it seems more intended for video and I was unable to stream using the Google cast option. Please let me know if there are better options. Thanks!

If you can find the Chromecast audio it will serve the purpose.
