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?

The short answer is no, you cannot convert a USB 2.0 port to USB 3.0 speed. See: Can You Convert USB 2.0 To 3.0? (Answer & Procedure) (technologitouch.com)

Replacing your USB cable would not provide any benefit unless it is defective and causing dropouts.
