Well I am no expert at any of this; I hope that one of the devs will chime

Can you disable Pulse completely? Or at least set it so that the default
sound device is the internal audio chip? That way we can perhaps rule out
that it is somehow interfering with your aplay experiments...
To disable it completely (temporarily) you should be able to replace the
line

with
autospan = no

Can you try other USB ports on the computer? For instance, any USB-3 ports
(I have a problem with a System76 laptop that won't play hi-res files
without weird static/distortion through an AudioQuest DragonFly on its USB2
port but is fine on a USB3 port).
Are your USB cables distinctly different, ie not just two exactly the
same? How long are they? Are they USB-2 compatible?

When you have a 96/24 file playing with aplay, can you open a terminal
window and
cd /proc/asound/DEVICE
(I think that should be right based on your output of aplay -L)
and there do an
ls
you should see a file called stream0. type
cat stream0
and send what you get back to the list.
