The first thing I notice with your FLAC files is that they have ID3v2 tags.
This is incorrect. The FLAC specification calls for metadata to be stored in METADATA_BLOCK_VORBIS_COMMENT blocks and cover art in METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE blocks.
It's easy to add an ID3 tag using Mp3tag because that's the default. We've seen users have trouble with this from time to time. One has to exercise an obscure menu option to change it for FLAC files. I haven't used TagScanner but I'm supposing the same may be true for it.
I'll check further and later try to post back a corrected version of the album for you to test.
DSF files are a different kettle of fish, however. No conclusion about them can be drawn from this exercise.
