Quick USB question

I currently have a Node (2021) streamer and it has only one USB port.  Does someone make a decent “Y” adapter? I currently have a 4TB hard drive in it and would like to try using the USB as an output to my DAC.

I’m not sure if it will work. Anyway, with one thing going in and the other going out, not at the same time of course.

Thanks in advance.

The manual says the USB is an audio 2.0 output under the specs and the says it’s a type A port for external drives. So that’s part of my confusion.

I’m trying to get something better than the $2-$10 ones I found online.

Let me rephrase my question,

Does someone make a decent USB A/B switch?

The Node doesn’t see my Terramaster NAS. If I can figure out the trail, it will see my external hard drive. But I don’t leave my computer on 24/7, so I really didn’t try.
