Looks like I might have something to test my Chinese 5v USB LPS from eBay on after all. Overkill I know, but I've got to test it on something and the Pi is awaiting RoonSpeakers.
Thanks for the toslink tip - I think I ordered the right one?

Yes, I think that cable should be fine. I think it makes sense to try a cheap cable, see if you like the way the Chromecast works and then maybe try a more expensive one later - lower jitter etc.
I will be very interested to find out whether the LPS makes a difference - it may well do.
