You can use something like below to try all formats

S32_LE S32_BE U32_LE U32_BE FLOAT_LE FLOAT_BE FLOAT64_LE FLOAT64_BE

S18_3LE S1
8_3BE U18_3LE; do aplay -D hw:1,0 -f $i -c2 -r44100 /stop.wav; done
Remember to replace /stop.wav with your filename.
You may also need to work with the values for -c and -r.

Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Instructions for connecting USB DAC to Touch
Using card 1 didn´t make any difference for the rDac not did it wotk with using HW and changung buffers to 5 and sample size to 32. Using my Emmeline "The Predator" Portable USB DAC/Amp, I could both play thorugh the plugusb and hw:1,1 from aplay and the SB would boot and work using an asound.conf with plugusb.
