How to stop or cancel sending block execution

Question

I want to execute several sending blocks at once. Therefore, when any sending block is executed at the same time as I start the second sending block, I want to stop the execution of the previous sending block.

I am using this code below:

dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:item.URL];
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
         NSError *error = nil;
         self.player =[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data fileTypeHint:AVFileTypeMPEGLayer3 error:&error];
            NSLog(@"%@",error);
        });
    });

And I also tried this code below. but if I used this code below, you can undo the previous block, but my application will hang

//Use NSOperationQueue 
    myQueue = [NSOperationQueue mainQueue];
    [myQueue addOperationWithBlock:^{

        // Background work
        NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:item.URL];
       [[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] addOperationWithBlock:^{
            // Main thread work (UI usually)
            NSError *error = nil;
           self.player =[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithData:data fileTypeHint:AVFileTypeMPEGLayer3 error:&error];
            NSLog(@"%@",error);
        }];
    }];

Thanks in advance,

This does not require sending queues or operation queues.
