Improving Macbook -> Hugo?

I'm currently running my Ether C / Hugo combo off my MacBook running Tidal using a bog-standard USB cable. Any advice on what might improve this set-up?
 
Try a cheap optical cable instead. It's the designers (Rob Watts) preferred connection for Mojo / Hugo.
(I'd suggest Lindy; excellent products at sensible prices, usb or optical)
 
If there is no optical out available on the MacBook then you can try a USB isolator as the Hugo (I think) is not galvanically isolated on the USB input, no need for expensive cables.

New Macs have dropped the optical out doubled into the headphone sockets, but buy an Airport Express from eBay for £20 (A1264) and feed optical out (3.5mm audio out is also Toslink out) from that instead. Makes it wireless too, so a win-win.
