buy a better usb cable or a BT for system

I currently stream from laptop into my Brooklyn DAC with a usb cable. Do I buy a upgraded cable or get a BT connection like the Audio Engine or bluMe and stream Tidal from my phone of tablet?

I'd invest in that before a new cable. There is something terribly convenient about BT, but with Tidal now available via Google Chrome, with MQA, you may prefer to go that route.

If you want to stream from your tablet/smartphone, why not get a Chromecast Audo and use its optical digital output?
