How to throw usb through the network?

Actually task:
There is a computer with a collection of music. There is a DAC + amplifier + acoustics, the DAC is connected to the computer via USB.
Now the task arose to move the computer and audio junk to different ends of the room. At the same time, dragging a long USB cable around the room or buying and laying long speaker cables is not an option just to drag the acoustics.
Solution:
I thought that there are USB over LAN / USB over WI-FI solutions, and you can plug the receiver into the computer, and plug the DAC into the receiver, and either via WI-FI everything will start without wires, or you can bypass everything under the plinth throw a whistle for the sake of such a thing.
And Google gave out that there are such solutions, but they are all extremely rare, or they cost some unreasonable money.
From what seems to be true:
IOGEAR Wireless USB Hub GUWIP204
AnywhereUSB/2
BELKIN Network USB Hub
There are also purely software solutions when the USB port on one computer is displayed on the second. That is, you can put another sistemnik and throw the port. But this is + 1 system unit, and the software costs the same $ 100-200
Maybe I'm not quite where I need to dig? Maybe there are more affordable solutions?
I do not believe that no one has faced similar problems. USB key 1C, for example, to throw.
More highly specialized devices such as network print servers are very cheap, transmitters and receivers in wireless mice and keyboards generally do not increase the price of the device very much. Why is it so difficult to find a more universal solution?

USB speed is faster than WiFi, unlikely, but may not be enough. Only two options will be best for you:
1. Run a USB cable.
2. Buy a mini computer and set up access to the audio collection over the network.
I don’t understand why you need to forward a 1C key via USB, but they can work over the network out of the box.
Wireless mice and keyboards are easy because they have low data transfer rates and volumes.

Worked with AnywhereUSB/2. The traffic generates little, it works stably, the speed (USB 1.1 device is connected) does not differ from a direct wire.

Well, of course, the appart is not worth much ... I do not understand why you do not fully consider the option with a software solution to this problem.
Looking at all the bells and whistles, it would be cheaper to buy a lifetime subscription to the USB network Gate program .
Without unnecessary problems with wires and hardware, well, simplicity and versatility, you can use it to forward USB over the network, and so on.
