I've read from other posts that you can use the usb as an input and output simultaneously. That is to send the audio to an external DAC and read a usb dive at the same time. It's not working for me using a usb hub. I'm using the extent brand. Is it not functional or am I using the wrong brand and if I am can someone tell me which one I should use? Make and model please.

You're hooked to both an external DAC and external hard drive at the same time correct?

Yes, a 1TB Sandisk Extreme portable SSD and feeding my Linn MDSM/4 amp over USB. Can even play tracks from that SSD to the amp/DAC at the same time.
I'm using this one but doesn't work. https://amzn.to/3Xvx5H2
Just in case anybody wants to know I couldn't get the usb hub to read files and play them back via usb to the dac. I could read the files from the usb but had to choose the output as coax or optical. Doesn't really matter because the Ultra will convert all dsd/dsf files to 24/192 pcm anyway. It does an exceptionally good job. I was listening to psaudio/octave records dsd256 files.
