" set both to studio quality, 32 bit, 48000 Hz. "
The setting has to match the capabilities of your DAC. I understand that you have a Schitt Modi 3+. This is not a 32 bit DAC.You need to set the PC to a 24 bit depth setting. What about sample rate? If you have it set to 48 kHz this means that your computer is upsampling all 44.1 kHz tracks ( the most common ) to 48 kH and that all higher rates are being downsampled to 48 kHz even though your DAC is capable of handling Amazon Ultra HD tracks <192kHz.
There are many other aspects to account for in streaming from a PC including the USB connection itself involving both the cable and ways of dealing with parasitic electrical noise generated by the computer.
I think that you need to study this a bit and I would highly recommend looking at the resource linked below which is packed with useful information for newbies.
