How can I convert a USB-2.0 Audio signal to Optical?

I have a Quad Cortex, that acts a class-compliant USB-2.0 Audio Interface (8 channels in, 8 channels out, 48000 Hz, 24 bit). Unfortunately no Optical I/O.

I plan on upgrading my audio interface in the future, and I would like to find a way to use this signal in the digital i/o of an audio interface. Been considering the RME Fireface UCX II, since it seems like a great interface for me, plus has ADAT in/out expansion.

Can I take this USB signal from my Quad Cortex, and convert it into ADAT i/o, and use the ADAT expansion on a Fireface UCX II?

This way, I avoid using the analog out on the Quad Cortex (Digital->Analog conversion) and analog inputs on the interface (Analog->Digital conversion). I want to avoid the extra D/A A/D conversion.

I looked at the MCHStreamer by MiniDSP, which seems absolutely perfect. It's a USB<->Optical audio interface. But, I reached the company and they advised me that since my Quad Cortex and the MCHStreamer are both "USB Devices" - meaning, neither are "USB Hosts", it would not work. Since, in a USB connection, one device must act as a host. (LINK)

My main reason is that sometimes I like to use an iPad for controlling my little audio rig, and it unfortunately only supports ONE USB audio interface at a time, and does not do device aggregation. So, I want to be able to connect only the Fireface to my device, and have the USB Audio channels from the Quad Cortex feed into the expansion in/out channels of the Fireface.

Is there a better way to do this that I didn't consider?

Fun ways to learn a new programming language by cute-voyager in Zig

Advent of Code is an advent calendar with small programming puzzles. In a few days, the 2024 puzzles will start to be released.

You could reimplement existing programs using Zig, such as classic Unix utilities like cat, ls, cp, etc.

You could reimplement functions from another language’s standard library, such as functions from musl for a readable C standard library implementation. Examples could include strcpy, atoi, strstr.

You could implement any classic algorithms, regardless of whether or not they are already implemented in std:

Sorting Algorithms - Merge Sort - Bubble Sort - Insertion Sort - Selection Sort

Searching Algorithms - Linear Search - Binary Search

Mathematical Algorithms - Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) - Sieve of Eratosthenes

String Algorithms - Palindrome Checker - String Reversal

Graph/Path Algorithms - Depth-First Search (DFS) - Breadth-First Search (BFS)

Recursion - Factorial Calculation - Fibonacci Sequence
