Considering that I don't see a scientific way that such an effect could occur — unclean DC would affect the semiconductor elements in a linear fashion — I'll have to leave the conversation here as we're definitely straying into audiophile pseudoscience, which I can't support.
my original tweet was about whether or not the usb cable coming out of your computer was that clean. they don’t tend to be

In my experience, the USB ports of all my devices have produced extremely clean DC, as far as I could measure it this far. In fact, for recording beyond +70dB amp I'll usually plug straight into the motherboard instead of the usb hub as it's just the tiniest bit cleaner.

If it's that noticeable, there's either a real measurable defect occuring, which you should measure, trace, and try to get it repaired as it will impact digital busses as well, or it's a psychoacoustic effect.
