Looks like powering Gumby is a repeating theme of this thread. Yet, the solution is pretty simple for most, just keep it on.
The difference of Gumby powered just for a few hours vs. several days is not as big as the difference you get by possibly improving the USB signal before it gets inside Gumby. The bus-powered USB CMedia board is Gumby's weakest link, not the fact that its best to keep it on all the time. Many other sensitive electronics need time to stabilize/etc, this is not unique to DACs.
