Poor Sound Quality with Spotify Premium on Chromecast Audio

I switched from AirPlay via an AirPort Express to a Chromecast Audio, and the audio quality is terrible on the Chromecast. I noticed that the documentation says Spotify natively uses Ogg Vorbis, and Chromecast uses AAC compression. I interpret this as meaning that Spotify is transcoding from Ogg Vorbis to AAC, which would explain the awful audio quality I experienced. Am I correct that transcoding is being used when streaming to Chromecast?
