best way to connect pc to dac


I currently stream TIDAL from a windows laptop that is connected to a Brooklyn DAC with an entry level Kimber USB cable then to my preamp with Kimber Heros.

Are there better solutions? I only have USB ports on my laptop. 

thanks for your knowledge...

There are lots of options, limited only by your budget and desire/ability to tinker. You have the bare minimum setup and it can certainly be improved. The Computer Audiophile forums are a good place to discuss with folks who are open to these issues and have lots of experience. I went from a Windows laptop to a server to a better server, used different cables, added external signal improvement devices, and linear power supplies. Each was a substantial improvement to the sound. Streamers are also a possible route, and these can also vary from a simple basic setup to a more complex one, with similar sound quality improvements at each step.
