First, you need to read up on USB interfaces to DAC's. It's simply not true that "no pesky jitter correction needed". In fact, some implementations are much worse. Now, as for your second point, you should think twice about throwing out an insult like that around here. Many of us are proud owners of "unbalanced" systems. Anyway, do you know for a fact that your system is *fully* balanced from input to output?
