Request: Kernel/ROM Mod for USB Audio

As many audiophiles know, using a external DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with the GS3 tremendously improves sound quality over the built-in chip found in Verizon's GS3.

Currently, the GS3 will output USB audio over a USB OTG cable to many external USB DACs. A list of some of the currently compatible DACs can be found here:

However, the dilemma lies here: some USB DACs are not recognized by the GS3, likely due to the GS3 refusing to recognizing devices that have a power-draw of more than 100 mA.

My question is this: would it be possible to create a kernel/ROM that would allow an excess power-draw from USB devices like the portable headphone AMP/DAC called the Fiio E17? There have been unconfirmed reports of a modder (somewhere) doing this (read comments section):

Thanks for any and all help.
