The only reason for buying this is if you can't move your PC to another room or if you can't afford to buy a network streamer like a Chromecast audio for streaming or a raspberry pi for playing files.
Moving the computer to another room will effectively eliminate the fan noise and using a Chromecast audio or a raspberry pi will sound exactly the same because it's digital.
The only reason it might sound different is if:
A: Your DAC takes power from USB in which case you might experience higher noise.
B: Your DAC doesn't re-clock the signal which would be very stupid. (Basically all made DACs today do it.)
