You've not said how you're listening to the music, everything else in the chain including cabling will also affect what you hear.
I listen a lot using IEM's & headphones to sources via USB, with MoOde or other devices like a phone & UAPP & hear no noise at all, if it is there I cannot hear it.
I have no experience of the DACs you mention but I did have a couple of IQAudio DAC Pro hats a couple of years ago, if you're looking for an improvement in sound I think you'd be able to do so.
Apart from DAPs & dongle dacs I tend to listen to A FIIO K9 Pro (AK chip version) headphone DAC Amp or an Oriolus BD20 DAC (ESS based) into a BA300S tube pre-amp into a BA20 amp, both with USB sources (MoOde or UAPP) and they both have their merits depending what I am listing to or what mood (pun not intended) I am in.
