Using another galvanic isolator won't help and will probably make things worse. No doubt other companies will offer "no compromise" USB solutions, but don't believe it.
Frankly I think you are worrying too much; 99% of the RF noise problem is removed currently by Dave; it is just the last 1% where one would want to remove the power to the source. And a single jitter-bug gets you too 99.75%. If you go with optical, you for sure will eliminate all RF; but its not quite as good as the USB, as this has zero jitter/timing issues as the clock comes from Dave. Before galvanic isolation, optical was so much better than USB. Detail resolution and flow is slightly better than optical.
I am listening to Dave now, and its a powered lap-top (and I have just realised I have not even put the jitter bug in), and I have been enjoying music like I have never before. I was listening to Jacqueline Du Pre Elgar this morning, and heard things I have never heard before and thought that 1965 recording just sounds stunning.
So don't worry, just keep enjoying the music!

Since I can be also a dreamer sometimes , please Rob do you have any plans to integrate inside Dave a digital player in future?
Going further adding NAS access not only with electrical RJ45 access but also with multimode 850nm fiber one (tackling. the 0.001 RF issue)...
I fully admit that it is quite soon for writting letters to Santa Claus.
