Can I use a hub for multiple USB sources into a DAC?

It would surprise me if an USB DAC supported that as it would have to have host functionality as well as user interface to select among the connected USB sources for playback (or play everything mixed from all sources).

@Seeker-Smith Don't think so. A hub allows one host to have access to multiple devices, but not the other way around?

I think what you're looking for is called a 'USB switch'.
