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 also gadgets that are placed inline that claim to improve the USB signal by reducing jitter. Schiit Wyrd is a reasonably priced option for $99. As always, there are much more expensive options that reclock the signal and may improve the sound. With your current set up, at the minimum you should run your PC on battery and not on AC since the PC power supply adds a lot of measured noise to the signal.
