Problem with streaming interference

I'm having a problem with streaming , I have just upgraded my DAC from Jolida to PrimaLuna, also added a new PrimaLuna preamp.  I'm using my laptop as a music server and don't have a transport I'm using JRiver 25 as the server software.  When I unpacked the new PrimaLuna gear and set it up it played nicely. I started listening streaming tidal, soon after a few minutes crackling and popping started and soon after that my laptop dropped the PrimaLuna connection.  I shutdown all equipment including computer then rebooted everything.  Then started playing from my hard drive, it played fine for a few minutes then the crackling and popping started but did not drop the PrimaLuna signal.  Then switched to streaming from tidal, still crackling and popping then dropped my connection to the PrimaLuna DAC as before. Rebooted the computer and could not get my connection back to the PrimaLuna DAC until shutting down the DAC and laptop and starting both back up. Rinse wash and repeat.

Then I took the PrimaLuna DAC out of equation and restored the Jolida DAC still using the PrimaLuna preamp, it all played and sounded fine, no crackling and popping and did not drop the connection to the laptop, no problems at all. I believe the PrimaLuna DAC is sensitive to interference, I am using regular USB data cables which might be the problem. 

Has anyone had similar experience as described above.  Your advice is appreciated. 

Thanks
