When we are talking about whether the difference is big or small. This a complicated topic. The ground wire may transmit noises from the computer, but this is not the only one factor regarding the sound quality. I can't confirm if the upgrade brings benifits for your setup.
I don't know what kind of USB cable are you using, one tip for you, there are 4 wires in the USB A-B cable, 5V, GND, Data + and Data -. Only disconnect the 5V wire, don't disconnect the GND. To answer your question, if it works for the X-SPDIF 2, it'll also work for X-SPDIF3.
Personally, I think 12V power is more common and easy to buy.
