Dragonfly cobalt issues with Mac Studio

So, I have an Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt that is not liking my Mac Studio or...Vice Versa. Worked fine with my old MBP and my Intel Mac Mini and my iOS devices. but, when I plug it into my Mac Studio via USB A or USB C (via the dragon tail) I get a rapid clicking sound. Now I have TWO questions...


ONE: Do I even NEED the Cobalt with the Mac Studio because apparently the headphone out on the back supports hi-res audio and low-impedance headphones.


TWO: What the heck could be wrong and why is it clicking? Audioquest has not been able to offer any help that actually works. Is anyone using one of these with an M1 Mac that is having/had similar issues?


Thanks!!
