Tx for the suggestions, Man in a van's suggestion worked but was distorted at higher bit rates. Then I discovered the Squeezelite Output devices section on the Diags page with the detailed descriptions of each output and tried the simplest setting i.e. 'sysdefault:CARD=USB - E-MU 0404 - Default Audio Device' Bingo, that worked on all bit rates! :-)
And without having to remove the Justboom DAC HAT. I think a possible reason why my earlier attempts failed was because I was using the UI on my phone and copy/pasting in the output entries from help, (I had no idea they could be selected as there was no mouse pointer indicating clickable lines and I'd not noticed 'click to use') so a stray space may have crept in. It'd be great if the Diag page's descriptive outputs could be worked into the Squeezelite config page and then made selectable via a radio button.
