Or if you want to keep it low cost get a USB Vbus isolator (iFi makes a good one) and low noise linear power supply to drive it. About $50 for the USB isolator, another $100 for the linear power supply.

This will keep noise from your laptop/PC power supply from getting into the USB input and ultimately the signal ground on your DAC.
