I bought a Pro to essentially replace Roon + PC as my streaming source as I can use the DSP in the Wiim app to EQ my headphones, plus it's a lot more portable around the house than a large PC is. However, I haven't done my diligence sufficiently as I have a problem with connecting them digitally. The pro has coax or optical digital out, the JDS only had USB-B input! Is there such a thing as a coax to USB-B cable? I doubt it, so wishing I'd put a pro plus now with the better DAC. Or replace the lot with a DX5-II.....

Maybe something like this optical to usb converter , with a further usb-a to usb-b adapter ?

I have the Cubilux USB C version, and It should be noted that these receivers only support up to 16-bit, 96KHz, unlike the transmitters which support up to 24-bit, 192KHz.
I've got another idea, but not sure how to connect and setup - is it possible to use the PC as a digital bridge between the Wiim and my JDS? Google thinks it can. I'm guessing optical into optical on my desktop, but not sure then how to pull the signal through the USB audio output on the PC
