The Devialet requires 5v power for the initial "handshake" between the computer and the Devialet. I have a sotm USB card that has the option to turn off the power. If I start a song and then cut the power it continues to play, but if you turn off the Devialet or cycle through the inputs I need to turn the power from the USB card back on before it will play again.
Another experiment I just did was to use an ifi iUSB power supply and Gemini dual USB cable. With this setup I can leave the power from the USB card off permanently because the Devialet gets power from the iUSB. So you could use the anticable USB cable from your computer to the iUSB and then another USB cable from the iUSB to the Devialet.
