outboard DAC - does it need isolation?

216.115.113.31

I have my outboard USB DAC set up on top of my subwoofer. It's not what I would choose to do if I had other options, but my stereo rack is full, and that's where it ends up.
My DAC and the subwoofer are big, stout units. There is no possibility of the DAC vibrating off and falling on the floor. But how do you think the vibrations affect the DAC sonically? I read about how you should place your high end gear on isolating tiptoes and such, and that it makes an improvement. I have never gone that far with my stereo. But now I have a DAC on top of a pulsating subwoofer!
I don't hear any problems, but what do y'all think?
