Hmmmm. As others say, this is really not possible. I fear to ask just how noisy your DAC is! Over the years of measurements, I have never seen noise all that significant over a USB interface unless something went wrong like picking up ground loop hum and stuff like that. If anything, they tend to measure better than other digital interfaces. Just have a look at the Oppo BDP-105 results I put up recently comparing USB, HDMI, Coaxial, TosLink: 'http://archimago.blogspot.com/2017/04/measurements-oppo-bdp-105-rca-xlr-hdmi.html' (http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2017/04/measurements-oppo-bdp-105-rca-xlr-hdmi.html) If you do find some evidence for what I believe is one of many myths in the audiophile world, I'd love to see it!
