FireLion your observations may be valid for you but mine told a different story.
Using both USB-connections is superior to me.
Power cable doesn´t matter much, if you have a decent power strip like this:

USB-Power from those is filtered. I´m not saying it´s the same as those expensive special linear power supplys...but it definetly did the trick.
Plus Using a decent USB-B cable with a ferrit core did the final Step. Sound was clearly the best for me in this figuration.
Most black background ever achived with this one.
But finally the form factor killed me and got a D70. Already very dark/black background is now even much much darker than before. Crazy dark was my feeling when heard the first times.
Whatever ASR measured on D70...It clearly has the edge to M300 so I decided to keep D70 not M300.
With It´s own power supply imbedded it´s much easier to handle. Any power plug will do because D70 does filtering on it´s own...obviously.
