@QuarryHunslet and others have mentioned a similar cabled solution in the past viz. https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/...onds-of-the-song-are-cut-off.6934/post-120922

Clearly with a cabled convertor in between as the Ultra doesn’t support usb audio in.

for me this started to make sense only from the moment i discovered 'settings > accessibility > control nearby devices' very late 
. means i can lounge around on my sofa. while the iphone in hand tells the usb-connected ipad what to play. or vice versa.

Well y’all finally did it and finally pushed me off the fence - I just ordered the Cubilux USB-TOSLINK adapter and optical cable to try this craziness out. We’ll soon find out if my gear and my ears are good enough to tell the difference. A $35 experiment that at worst will end up with another jumble of cables in the junk drawer.

It works and it sounds great. You won't be disappointed. Just a matter of how to do remote control (if you sit far away, like I do).

an unemployed usb ipad was at hand. the k11 cheap. an analog in from the integrated was free. a no brainer. perfect for people like me first idea to use it with the vibelink. in the 'office'. but neither the fiio nor the vibelink has a remote. laziness won. but it is small and invisible enough for the living room. decided my wife.

Yeah, I already set up my iPhone to remote control the iPad. But I think That’s only good for media player controls (for music listening purposes anyway), so I still have to get my lazy ass up off the couch to pick the next album, unless I just let AM do its thing, which I’ve done a lot lately. It actually does a very good job af sticking to the genre and evening time period of what I’d previously picked myself, and has turned me on to some good stuff I’d never heard before.
