uDAC gets the power from USB cable. Just leave it there and it doesn't consumer much power.
If you turn off the volume, the USB to coaxial digital output will be activated.

i'm more worried more that it'll run in the device too much. cuz the blue LED is always on even when the pc is off.

Some PC BIOS allows a setting to maintain USB power even when the Windows is shut-off.   Such as my Lenovo.  So the USB can still be used to charge a cell phone.
