I like the idea of a DDC in theory and to my ears there is a difference in the sound of some different DAC’s from each other. I also have found the sound can be changed by how these components are connected with each other. I liked the Ultra/ PO100 combo but found the difference minimal. I liked...

Well that cable didn't work either. Decided to use an old Topping DAC to go from transport optical out to the Topping optical in, then RCA out from Topping to Line In of Ultra, then USB out to Douk U2 Pro and I2S out to Douk U8. Glitches are gone. I know this is convoluted but I want to use...

Changed my optical cable to a different, shorter one and that seemed to do the trick. Hopefully.

Having the same issue with my transport via optical to the Ultra, then USB out to U2 Pro. Lots of glitches. So just going from transport to U8 DAC without issue.

Why coax and not USB?

Thanks. Yes I realize I’m overdoing it on the chain and it would probably be better to simplify but I like what I hear and there doesn’t seem to be any issues synching subs. All sounds fine here.

I've been experimenting with Ultra USB out to Douk U2 Pro USB in, then U2 I2S out to U8 I2S in. Sound is very good. Probably not a lot of change from my Denafrips Ares II or the Ultra DAC but got both the Douk's for essentially nothing used so thought I'd give it a try. When doing a search...

Ah sorry thought it was just the Ultra. My bad. Just deleted.

Ive taken to using Airplay to my Pro for Mixcloud. Works like a charm.

I’ve been using AirPlay to my Pro to use Mixcloud successfully. Would be nice to have it included as an included app but at this point just happy to be able to access it.

Got it! I had to turn off Dolby Atmos. Thanks for your patience and help.

Well for whatever reason I can’t get it to transfer more than 16/44

Thanks. Yes I've followed all those steps. I see the circles/triangle, and when I tap that it brings up "Airplay" and I see the adapter. But should it say "Airplay", because that would indicate to me that it's using AP which of course cannot transfer higher then CD quality?

So after not having luck using the PO100 in getting hi-res Apple Music from my iPhone to the Ultra(Macbook works fine) I broke down and bought the adapter described in the OP. Still no luck. I think the problem might be that the iPhone is using Airplay to use the adapter and I don't know how to...

Ok it works. Hadn't set correct output on Audio MIDI. Thanks for your help.
