You might consider choosing a competent outboard 5VDC linear regulated power supply rather than USB power. IME, even a humble 5VDC digital optical Toslink repeater/splitter device benefited from using such rather than USB power, as well as a 5VDC switching wall wart power supply, for that matter. I simply selected a high quality 5VDC linear regulated power supply with double the required amperage rating, and in my case replaced the molded AC connector of the captive 18 AWG AC power cord (I left the DC umbilical cord alone) with a Furutech FI-11M(Cu) AC plug which provides a more musically coherent presentation. YMMV
