Nice to know that we've confirmed the Devialets don't need USB buss power.
Morten,
When I turned off the buss power on the SOtM Audio USB card, I was listening to Cecile McLorin Salvant's Woman Child and I thought I heard a small improvement in the focus of her voice.
Since the SOtM Audio USB card already has a power line noise filter, individual ultra low noise regulators and my PK 90 is powered by the optional linear PSU, disconnecting the 5v buss power may produce a bigger improvement for those feeding their Devialet USB inputs from a PC or MAC.
