Hi,
I am a new person here.
I have not used Audirvana yet.
My current set up is: Bluesound Nod2i + Copland CSA100 + Bowers&Wilkins 702s2.
I stream music from Tidal and use USB memory inserted into Bluesound.
I wonder what would be the sound quality difference between Audirvana on DELL Vostro 5590 (I5, 8 GB RAM) connected to Coplands’ internal DAC via USB AB cable.

Hello @Grzegorz,
If you wonder how it would improve how your tracks are played, you should give a try to Audirvāna Studio since you can try 30 days for free, we do not ask for your credit card to start the trial 
Merci, merci 
So it works. Quality of sound is amazing. I spent the whole evening with trying different DSD files first time in my life (until now only tidal and some files through my Bluesound)
The sound is like a silk with DSD64.
With DSD128 files system does trrrrrrrr sometimes. I do not know how to describe it. Just stop to play smoothly.
What is the reason, please?
And another question came.
Could you advise about significance of USB AB quality cables?
I have simple item received from IT guy in the company I work for.
Does it make sense to buy high quality one, please?
rgs,
Grzegorz
Yes.

Still the issue is present.
Can you also post the settings you have in your device ASIO driver?
I tried.
It does not open.
Try to reinstall the ASIO driver.
