USB Noise filter on R2R DAC ?


Seek advise and opinion if R2R DAC required USB noise filter , to filter /reduce USB noise from my headless NUC or music streamer ? 

I have read abd learnt that modern DAC may not require USB noise filter .

All suggestion is welcome.

I’m not aware that an R2R DAC per se is any more noise resistant than any other DAC depending on whatever noise filtering is built into it as previously mentioned.  I’d at least try throwing something like an Optical Rendu in front of your DAC.  The only thing I’m gleaning from people with much more advanced streaming systems than mine is that incredible performance is possible and EVERYTHING matters.
