I'm currently using a M-Audio hiface 2 (technically a transport, not a DAC, but same theory) with a custom usb cable that gets power from a battery instead of the PC. The battery is kind of a hassle, so it got me thinking... what if I just power it from the USB port on the receiver it's connected to. My thinking is that there couldn't possibly be any loss in quality because it's the same power the receiver is using. Are there any holes in this theory?
