Rhythmbox uses Pulse as far as I know, and Pulse resamples again AFAIK. At
least I have never been able to convince Pulse to "leave things alone".
Pulse then passes the resampled stuff to Alsa.

Players that I know that will play directly to Alsa: mpd, QuodLibet,
Guayadeque.

With aplay have you tried using the plughw output device associated with
the Teac unit?

You can figure that out with "aplay -l" and/or "aplay -L".

Do you have other USB cables to try?

If none of those help you need to send some diagnostic info... The two
aplay outputs above and I guess the output of "lsusb".
