Does Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ need USB power


I was wondering if Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ requires 5V line in a USB cable. My Brookly is connected to Auralic G1 streamer. I'm planning to make DIY USB cable, thus the question.

I believe the DAC requires the 5V from the USB cable.

But you don’t have to take my opinion, or anyone else’s. Just block pin 1 on the plug of your current USB cable into the Aurelic and see if it works. Use a thin strip cut from a business card to block it. It will either work or not!

Then you’ll know for sure.
