I have a Pi running PiCorePlayer v1.16 wirelessly connected to LMS 7.9.0
running on an Odroid with Debian SQLite 1.34.
I also have a HiFiBerry card attached which gives me the ability to play
192kb streams via RCA outputs to the Preamp.

I've now invested in an external DAC (TeddyDAC-USB) to improve the sound
further. This DAC is 192kb capable.
I've configured PiCorePlayer to output to USB only & connected the DAC
via USB. I've left the HiFiBerry physically attached but PiCorePlayer
isn't configured to use it.

The PiCorePlayer settings I used are:
Output settings - sysdefault:CARD=X20
ALSA settings - 80:4::
All other Squeezelite settings are blank. Perhaps this is where the
problem lies, but I'm no expert in this. Educated guesswork so far.
Under "List available ALSA devices, it shows an option of Output
settings: 
sysdefault:CARD=ALSA - bcm2835 ALSA, bcm2835 ALSA - Default Audio
Device
This doesn't work either but I don't understand the other settings I'd
possibly have to use. It plays streams, & possibly not HiRes ones, but
at least it plays!
Update - now it has stopped playing completely!

I'm able to play 192kb streams, but the DAC's HiRes indicator doesn't
light.
I know the stream is HiRes as the SB Controller tells me it's playing at
5010kb VBR & 24/192. It hasn't downsampled as the Pi isn't synced to any
other player.

I just want the Pi to act as a streamer & for the DAC to do everything
else - including dealing with 192kb streams, but the DAC doesn't appear
to recognise a 192kb stream or the HiRes light would be lit.
I imagine Squeezelight configuration is the issue, but a TeddyDAC-USB
isn't in the list of tested USB DACs yet so I don't know which settings
to use.
I haven't upgraded to PiCorePlayer 1.17 as I don't want to screw
everything up.

Please can anyone advise? Let me know if you need more information.

Many thanks.
Paul
PS I also posted this thread on the DIY Forum, but was getting no
responses.  
As I think the problem may be configuration of Squeezelight, perhaps
this is the most appropriate Forum.
