"Why is a USB DAC and external USB drive a bad idea?"
If they are on the same USB Host Controller then there may be interference due to resource contention. If they are separate controllers then there won't be a problem. The Windows device manager (View Devices by Connection) provides the necessary information to ensure that file I/O is kept separate from audio output to the DAC.
