    I suppose that you actually could physically connect a DAC to the USB port on an AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule........BUT.......it would not work, since the USB port on the AirPort Extreme and/or Time Capsule will only support a printer and/or a hard drive......as the support document that reference states.
