I can’t answer for your specific application, but I got noise when using USB from Dell laptop to Mojo 2. I solved it by using a WIFI connected RPi4 with USB cable from RPi4 to Mojo 2. I also was able to get good SQ using HDMI out of the Dell to an HDMI audio extractor, then optical to the Mojo 2, but that method only does 24/96 max.

At home, I use a Nucleus and have an RPi4 connected by ethernet with USB to Mojo 2.
