Hello !

Mining DASH with ASICs is very difficult today because of the big increase of the difficulty... is there any plan to upgrade the reward for DASH mining soon of to decrease the difficulty like they did for ETH recently ?

Thank you for your answer

No plan. Did Bitcoin have a plan to upgrade the reward for Bitcoin mining or to decrease the difficulty when it switched to ASIC mining and got a massive increase in their mining difficulty? No.
It is an adapt and survive mentality in the mining world, a battle of the fittest (or a battle of the strongest and most energy efficient in this case).  
 
There is a plan/concept about changing our proof of work model to keep ASIC miners in check and to subcontract the mining through masternodes but that is for far after Dash Evolution,
and is currently not included on the Dash roadmap (https://github.com/dashpay/dash-roadmap).

Just no
