Question Gigabyte GA-Z77-DH3: USB ports and DPC Latency

Hiya.
I've been struggling to make any music since I upgraded to Windows 10 due to very poor performance from my USB audio I/O.
I've had a Propellerheads 'Balance' audio interface since it was released and I love it but as soon as I got Windows 10, things got bad. Really bad.
The stutters, glitches and general 'noise' generated by the audio buss was so bad that I bought a Focusrite 2i4 to replace it, assuming that it must be the device finally giving up but, as soon as I plugged the Focusrite in, it did the same.
I've spent months trying to work around it and trying to find answers and the closest I've come is finding many others with issues in Win 10, specifically in USBPORT.SYS, the USB 1.1 and 2.0 driver provided by Micro$oft.

Does anyone have any experience or any suggestions as to how I might deal with this, other than to replace the mobo, CPU, cooler and RAM?
