Whats stopping me from doing this?

I recently got this cheap USB dac thats plugged into my pc over USB - B but it still needs Micro USB power for some reason. So I thought I could just connect the 5V from the USB A port to the Micro usb’s. Is there any reason why this doesn’t work?

I don’t know off hand but that sounds about right.
