convert?

Is there anyway a USB type B input (2.0) can be converted to 3.0? I ask because I use a Windows 11 desktop in order to utilize the Signalyst HQ Player. The computer and a Terminator Plus DAC are connected with a WyWires USB cable. The computer has outputs for USB 3.2 (Gen 2) type C with capability for 10 Gbps. Unfortunately the Terminator Plus only has the older Type B 2.0 USB input. That’s the problem. I’m bottle-necked at 5 Gbps (maybe even less) which works perfectly when upsampling to 48/512 but has frequent drop outs with some music @ 48/1024. Or should I just upgrade my USB cable?

@nmolnar I have frequent dropouts of some, not all, songs when upsampling to 48/1024. I just wondered if there was a way to utilize my computers 10 Gbps output to eliminate that.

@noromance I found this on Denafrips website:

Warning Please note that the RJ45/HDMI ports of DENAFRIPS DDC/DAC are not typical network/multimedia RJ45/HDMI ports. They are purpose-built I²S ports. Please do not connect it to the typical multimedia HDMI port (i.e. Bluray player/TV etc) / Ethernet network.

I wouldn't think it prudent to try connecting any HDMI inputs from the DAC to the computers 10 Gbps Type C output.

The only things plugged into my desktop are the Terminator Plus through USB 3.0 and a monitor per HDMI. I emailed Denafrips and asked about future possible 3.0 USB port installation in their DACs. I mentioned the drop outs and they responded saying the T+ can run 1024 with 44.1 but it wasn't made to run 48/1024. I haven't reset to 44.1 yet, but I will set it to that for future use.
