I can change the DDC to get power from the USB bus. I have run it like that in the past, and honestly don't hear any differances.
were there any dropouts then?
with the powerstrip and all it could power usb first and a bit later switch to the external whilst rpi is booting and maybe that or sth. else is glitchy with the two power sources.
It's just guess after all.
Maybe worth a try to power the DDC externally first and then start the rpi or disable the +5v on the usb if that's even possible.
