Whether or not the DAC reclocks, the computer clock and logic run by the computer clock will still contribute noise that may travel along the USB cable and power wiring and make it to critical circuitry in the DAC.
You can hear this noise on an AM radio, even one that's battery powered. Just being near to the computer will suffice. There is no need for an amp or speakers to be connected to the DAC. What you hear on the radio will depend on the software running in the computer, buffer settings, etc.
