[q] USB-C splitter to power a small DAC from a battery while sending data from phone

[worker24x7]

Hello, new member here.
I am looking for a USB-C splitter cable: 2 USB-C female inputs and 1 USB-C male output. Such that the USB-C male goes into the DAC device
and the two USB-C female inputs are used for (1) 5v power (2) data from a USB-C output of a music player, phone, laptop.

The current no-brand DAC that I have is fairly small, works by having one USB-C input (meant to be used with a laptop).
That USB-C input provides the DAC with power as well as the data (from a laptop).
But I also want to use it with a phone or music player, essentially making the DAC as if it had 2 USB-C inputs one for data and one for power.

I see newer DAC have this option, but the one I have has only one USB-C input, unfortunately.

I tried, for example, one of the y-splitter USB-C cables that allow a phone to have a USB-C headphone and power input plugged at the same time (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNP7KJJC)

But this is not what I am looking for. I want the male side to be plugged into the DAC, not into the phone.
(This cable above, does not work with my LG phones, it does not allow the phone to recognize the dac device)

Is there such a splitter?

I don't think there is a hub like the one you're describing. You'll also need a USB-C/USB-C cable for the hub you linked. Plug the male connector of the hub into your phone and the USB-C cable into the DAC. Check out this thread:

OTG USB-C adapter/splitter for dongle DAC to work properly while charging the phone?

Hello fellow audio geeks, I recently bought a dongle DAC for my IEMs and I would like to also charge my phone while listening to music. I looked for some recommendations but opinions are mixed - for some they work, for others don't, and also there's some issues with ground loops. Any solid...
