Try one like this first, and it will probably work ---

hw:card=d90,dev=0 replacing d90 for the description of your DAC.

I tried that using "card=DAC". I'll try "card=dac8" and see if that flies...

Use "aplay -L | grep CARD" and "arecord -L | grep CARD" to list the
interfaces.
user@MACHINE:~$ aplay -L | grep CARD | grep "^hw"
hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=1
hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=3
hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7
hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=8
hw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=9
hw:CARD=Interface,DEV=0
hw:CARD=Control,DEV=0
user@MACHINE:~$ arecord -L | grep CARD | grep "^hw"
hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
hw:CARD=Intel,DEV=2

If you install JRMC, they have a handy command "alsacap", short for ALSA capabilities. It is located in "/usr/lib/jriver/MC26/alsacap" for the JRMC26 install.
It dumps the the cards, names, devices, sub-devices, supported sample rates, supported bit formats, etc. It is a very helpful command to assist with configuration.
Card 0 and 1 are onboard Audio and HDMI.
Card 2 is an older W4S DAC2-DSDSE.
Card 3 is a newer Khadas Tone Board DAC.
I am waiting for a flash update for my OKTO DAC8 to get it to work on Linux.

And you should see your DAC's Description.

  Clicked on each output choice listed (6) and saved the settings. Squeezelite reboots. None worked.
  
  With my DAC, there are a series of LEDs to indicate sample rate. Initially, none is lit. When I power up the ultraRendu and restart Squeezelite, one immediately comes on and music plays.
  
  Does the choice of USB port matter?

    "Does the choice of USB port matter?"
    
    No .... I only ran into a problem like this once... It turned out my USB input was not working on my DAC. But it sounds like yours is working. I would post on the squeezelite forums and see if you can get a solution.
    
    Also, Soundcheck's blog has some good info on Rpi USB.
    - Thanks for the tips! - E-Stat 16:51:21 02/15/21 (0)
      But it sounds like yours is working.
      
      I get results from both the RPi4 and the uR - albeit different. The recommended output choices from the former are odd.
      
      Here's the diagnostic view from Sonore's perspective:
