Sorry, I should have explained a bit more...

No intention to connect a DAC through USB - I have a co-ax/optical Lavry
DA-10.  It's purely for an external HDD connection. I have an Icy Dock
3.5inch HDD enclosure which has a USB 3 and eSATA connection and wish to
be able to use it with Wandboad. I know USB 3 is USB 2 compatible but I
think USB 2 is a bit slow for data transfer. I think I can rig up a
connection using a SATA to eSATA cable but USB would be a cleaner
solution. 

I suppose it's just because I have an HDD enclosure that's capable of
higher data transfer speeds and would like to be able to use it :)
