I watched the following YouTube video . I was shocked how non-sense this person claims. He suggests to use PO100 Pro (DDC) to solve jitter issue when Ultra is connected with an external DAC via USB. So, please be aware of this nonsense.
 
I quite enjoyed Cheapaudiman's content when he first started, but he's gone downhill fast.

He's become a bit of a joke over the last year or so.
 
Why in the world even mention clowns like him? Every single attribution generates clicks. And criticism with simultaneous linking to a video is not really effective.
 
What's even more absurd: In the end his video might even help WiiM selling more Ultras. :) Those golden ears who would refuse it due to its low price before might just finally get convinced that the $330 Ultra beats $1200 streamers by the addition of a $70 device (even if he keeps repeating it was $60).

What can I say?

I had to try ….. using this bridge with precision clocks with battery power , using the usb output of the ultra - bridge - spdif in to the Rega dac . Did it sound any better than Ultra - spdif - Rega ?

No difference.

You see what you did wrong? SMSL is not printed on the case. ;)

To be perfectly clear: I'm not accusing SMSL in any way. I actually do own a PO100 Pro myself to help with measuring stuff.
