Best Digital Interface

It is my understanding that Asynchronous USB may be the best interface for digital transfer to a USB DAC. If the DAC has  Asynchronous USB then it basically owns the signal and basically re clocks timing, bits etc for a more perfect transfer if fed USB? I am streaming from a Node 2 into an RME DAC. I know there is no USB output from the Node. I have a few questions: 
1. Is there a Coax to USB adapter available? Does this make sense? 
2. Are there other reasonably priced (>1k) streamers that have USB output?

Thanks!

During the 90ties and 00decade, i enjoyed a wadia x32 by spdif with a micromega Duo CD 3.1. Since 2013 my preferred dac is a Mytek DSD 192, using the FW-Output/Oyaide-cable! First, i used a windows-PC/Windows 7 Pro with a FW-PCI-Card.
Since 2020, i've got a streamer by apolitan.de and a PCIe-Card/Chipset by NEC (TI no longer avaiable), on going using the mytek. Comparing to a PS Audio DSD, i'm very satisfied by the mytek/no upsampling.
Frontend by ATMASPHERE and high efficiency speakers (4way-full horn), you can hear every breathing! Are there any other members with similar experiences?
