USB "A" and "B" to RCA adapter

I'm seeking adapters to convert standard USB cables to RCA interconnect cables to obtain a more thorough burn-in via normal Line Level inputs/outputs vs the low output of a PC software player to better exhibit our YBA DAC modules in preamp/DAC products.

USB "A" to RCA
USB "B" to RCA

Any suggestions will be most appreciated....thanks, y'all!

"I could be wrong but I don’t think this is possible. USB is a digital cable, RCA is not. "

Correct.

I wouldn't worry about enhancing the break in process. Leave the cables where they are and they'll break in just fine.

If I'm not reading your post correctly and you need to break in cables this way, you should be able to do it by running the IC's through a tape loop.

Are you sure? An RCA cable has 2 conductors and a USB cable has 4.

Presumably the adapter splits the one USB to two RCAs hence four conductors?

The adapter could simply use the 2 data lines and not the 2 power lines on the USB cable.
