There is another manner to reduce jitter on USB connections, and that is to use a computer that has an extremely good USB implementation. The Fit-PC Slim has no on-board switching power supplies and an extremely clean USB output. The PC is low powered and can be driven off a linear supply or a 12 volt SLA battery, giving the cleanest sound I've heard from a PC transport.
Being a low powered computer, it doesn't have a lot of horsepower for upsampling and such, but it does work great as a network player. I control it with the Squeezebox Duet remote.
