LP Analog to Digital File using Schiit Audio JIL ADC

I purchased a Schiit Audio JIL ADC with the thoughts of converting some (certainly not all) of my LP collection to digital files. If you'll look at the specs of the JIL from their site (  https://www.schiit.com/products/jil ) you'll see that there are 3 selectable sampling rates available: 48, 96, and 192kbps. My intent is to use the latest release of Audacity on a Windows 10 laptop to capture the USB stream. Anyone here having success with this setup?
I experimented exactly once to see what my results would be. Let's say it wasn't good. At all. I went back to check settings in Audacity and found that I'd forgotten to change the sampling rate from the default 44.1kbps whereas the rate on the JIL was 48kbps. To my mathematician mind, that alone could have been responsible for the "not good" results.
I'm certainly open to suggestions. All my other Schiit Audio equipment is wonderful, I expected my results to exceed my expectations. They didn't, so I'm guessing seriously bad user error here. HELP!!!

I had truly horrible results when I just plugged the JIL in, then I followed a setup procedure published by wall of sound and everything worked great.  Try this

One note: I decided to use WASAPI even though the wallofsound article said to use Windows Direct Sound.  This probably doesn't matter, practically speaking.
