Element software and BACCH plugin

I am experimenting with the BACCH plugin for Windows. Now I use Foobar2000 software but notice that the plugin and also the linking of Tidal do not work very well. Now I want to try another program that also supports VST3 plugins: Element (software from Kushview). Now my question: How can you link with Element by using VB-Audio virtual cable and Tidal App. Under Foobar2000 I have added the Recorder (Foo-record) where I can select the Virtual audio output and in Tidal the Virtual audio input.
I am looking for a simple link without extra mixers or other applications, only linking the audio with the Tidal app.
So far Google has not given me a solution. Maybe here are some smart forum members with an answer/solution?

Extra info, I use a Komplete audio one external DAC (USB) with ASIO drivers to send the sound analog to my set. In Element you can only select one audio device.

If you are willing to switch from Foobar to Jriver you might solve this in an easier fashion
In Jriver you can use VST plugins and it has its own WDM driver in Windows that allows you to pass audio from any source (Tidal, Chrome, etc.) through Jriver's DSP engine
This is what I do and it works really well, I apply the same DSP chain on any audio source in Windows

Thanks for your answer. With JRiver I had no good sound. There where clicks and pops in the muziek. I check the forums and adjust some settings but no good results. So I want to use some free software to experiment. I do not know if I want to use the software for a longer period.
Also I like to use the Element software for more VST3 plugins (DSP settings).
 
After some experimenting with JRiver I managed to get the sound right (without the pops and clicks). The secret was in the buffer settings. The distortion I heard on certain tracks with Foobar2000 in combination with BACCH plug-in is not present with JRiver.
It turns out that Foobar2000 is not such a good marriage with the BACCH LABS plug-in after all.
