it does help.
i had the standard DAC1 for a few weeks and then recieved the DAC1 USB, when i first powered on the USB and listened to the headphone amp the sound was more distant and less dynamic than the standard, i did alot of listening and really made sure, so i was worried it was from the extra jumpers in the USB headphone amp affecting the SQ.
i left the DAC1 USB powered on for about a week and recently revisited the comparison, i couldnt decect a soundquality difference between the standard and USB anymore, i think it was an initial burn-in issue.
