LeoDJ, Latest project in the category "Is it actually useful or just an elaborate #shitpost?": #USB2Speakon!
It's a fully self-contained, USB-C-powered, 2-channel DAC + 5W Class-D amplifier inside a #Speakon connector.
Use it to connect your phone / laptop to any passive loudspeaker and enjoy surprisingly loud music (probably enough to host a room party)

A USB A->C cable plugged into the USB2Speakon. It also works like that. But it just looks wrong :D
The USB2Speakon plugged into the back of a subwoofer with pass-through and a connected yellow USB-C cable leaving the image.
The finished test setup. A loudspeaker on top of a subwoofer to which the USB2Speakon is connected. A Framework laptop is connected to the other end, providing the power and audio signal. There is nothing else connected to the speakers other than the USB2Speakon and laptop.
