That's what USB-C was designed for.Could just be my own personal pet peeve, but I think the USB mass storage vs USB DAC distinction is bad for the overall market. I get that every penny of production cost matters, but it seems to me that things would be much simpler for consumers if you could buy pretty much any USB-enabled audio device and plug whatever you wanted into it - USB drive or USB cable from a "smart" host like a PC - and the device would auto-detect and go from there.
USB-A was never meant to be a multi-purpose Host/Slave port. Brands like O-NOORUS and iFi are just abusing it as such, further fueling customer confusion.
