That module is specifically a PC to CV interface as there is no 5 pin DIN input.Yes, i also have an Eloquencer with EME expander but NDLR does not power up when i connect it via USB.
Generally, if The NDLR USB cable can't plug into it, then its the wrong type of port. The exception might be with a USB C port, but that's a can of worms.
There are some MIDI to CV eurorack modules with a USB host port. Look for the USB Type A socket on them and they are probably labeled "Host". You can of course also use a cheaper MIDI to CV that has a 5 pin DIN input.
The NDLR has 4 USB virtual MIDI I/Os which, while being "class compliant" might confuse a less robust USB host. YMMV, I would stick with 5 pin DIN which also offers better timing.
I wish it had another way to power it.
