No.
It simply isn't (might not be) foo, because it is (might be) designed to power devices which can't get enough power from the ordinary cable. Nothing to do with the imaginary need to provide a really clean 5v supply to devices which don't use it.
You're not entitled to your own facts: most DACs do use the 5V from USB and/or thereby share the computer's ground plane. It's very old news that DACs and DDCs depend on clean power for best performance - although, yes, they still work fed with any hideous switch-mode wall-wart junk.
