Hi !
almost all decent usb to spdif converters do not rely on noisy pc usb power to function. This should be a basic requirements for a converter.
However for the ones that do not have a dc socket you can use a usb power supply like the one i have from Teradak (see link).
And the very best ones provide even complete galvanic isolation from the pc. A very nice thing to have.
I have converters from Gustard and Melodious and using the AES/EBU outs i am quite pleased with both.
The nice thing is that changing pc upstream from a powerful tower to a very cheap laptop (all with Win 7) has no impact on the sound.
The sound is always very very similar.

Kind regards,
bg
