Sure. The only thing you may watch out for is a somewhat louder click when the USB gets disconnected by the PC. Same when it gets attached later. You can't really solve this by unplugging the USB cable before the PC is shut down, because that may really bring you nasty sounds. The DAC (section) can be switched off though before the PC is shut down and can be switched on again when the PC is off.

The click when the PC shuts down is not there for everyone and it will depend a bit on your amplifier. And even when you never have it, it may occur at the 100th time of doing it.
When it is there at shutdown, it will be there at coming up also, but in a milder form. It's an "environmental" thing.
