I like the idea of using TuneIn for listening to the radio.

As my toslink slot is already in use for my CD Player, I only have the Optical 2 (mini Toslink) slot still free.

Can I buy Chromecast Audio and connect it via a toslink mini - toslink mini cable and stream from app to chromecast?

Yes.

Technically speaking, in Tunein's case you don't stream from the App to Chromecast - the App tells Chromecast what you want to stream and Chromecast makes a direct connection. There is a lag of a couple of seconds while it sorts itself out and buffers, and then you're good - you can shutdown the App or use the iPad for something else and it doesn't affect the stream - until it receives another message to stream (or stop). I accidentally left mine streaming all day initially - I'm not bandwidth limited but it's still a waste IMO so I press stop if I can.

sounds fine.

but I have a cable question:
given that only my optical 2 slot is free at the D200, do i have to buy a mini toslink to mini toslink cable or can I use the included 3.5-mm stereo cable?
