USB port power off

[Gramps3165]

I use an external DAC as a digital bridge connected to my Ultras USB port. The DAC stays on all the time as it’s being fed power from the USB port.
Is it possible to add a feature to cut the power output from the USB port?

Thanks in advance

I use this to connect my Apple CarPLAY wireless Transmitter to the car‘s USB socket. I don‘t want it to be on all the time.
Works perfectly well for both power and data.

I certainly wouldn’t find that useful.

I can see the appeal. I think it stops external dacs from going to sleep.

I would. Like usb powered external dac that could be powered off with ultra going into standby. Discussed many times. Anticipated by many users.

Now that the biggest problem ever, the completely useless VU meter with a completely useless audio spectrum display, has been historically solved, which (irony off) actually looks very nice, there may now be an opportunity to turn our attention back to useful things. Such as a selectable USB power off, for example?

That certainly isn’t the biggest problem ever, it would seem to be developing and implementing a fully working DLNA Casting output, which has been waiting for much longer than this feature.

Irony means that someone deliberately says the opposite of what they actually mean. It thrives on the contrast between what is said and what is meant, and only works if the other person recognizes this contradiction.
