Does get confusing when you have 3 threads with overlapping problems!
I have been running SnakeOil on an Intel NUC 8I5BEH for a number of years. Currently running 1.2 Alpha4, which you may want to try. Your DAC problem could be hardware related. Suggest swapping USB cables, swapping USB ports from back to front on NUC or vice versa. I have not problems running Tidal and gapless playback with Logitech Media Server Version: 8.1.1, using upmpdcli as the client.
