However, my question is wheter you would recommend any USB reclocking device (for example the Innuos Phoenix USB) after the HQPlayer output? Or using any HQPlayer NAA enabled device?

Since the USB clock is not used for audio. And master clock responsible for clocking audio is owned by the DAC, I don’t see any benefit in reclocking USB (or Ethernet for that matter either). These clocks have no relation to audio clocks, they just facilitate data transfer between two RAM buffers.
