Optimize my MacBook pro


I have a library of songs on my mid 2015 MacBook Pro. I use JRiver, and output via usb to a dac. My JRiver is set to keep all native output rate- 96 stays 96, etc. 
Are there any settings I should make on my MacBook Pro to get the very best it’s capable of? 
Thanks!

Your Briscati M1 DAC (if you still have it) is asynchronous, hence timing on the computer side makes no difference.   I would try to reduce injected electrical noise, by using USB cable without +5V and GND wires and possibly use USB isolator.  You could also try quieter, perhaps linear, power supply for your Macbook.  All computers have many internal switching regulators, but I believe the main power supply affect it the most (highest power).
