Irig Pro IO is able to use up to 96kHz and is still mobile (compatible with iOS/MacOS/Windows). There are more compact iRig solutions too.
I’ve read some users here had great luck with super compact Audioquest Dragonfly DAC products and were able to change sample rate, even black model goes up to 96kHz.

What makes 192 kHz critical for your?
If you are using softsynths, you may find that 96 kHz and 192 kHz limit what you can do as they require a lot more computation than 44k or 48k
You may hear a difference using a headphone amp/ converter with your akg’s- it depends on the impedance of those. The 240’s that are not the 240 “studio” take a lot of power to make them sound loud enough without being strained. My q701’s sound decent with the headphone jack but my fiio amp definitely sounds better and has more power. It’s rechargeable, so you don’t have too much extra stuff hanging off if you want to use it. But, I don’t use it a ton with iPad because I don’t wind up using my akg’s that often with it.
But I think it was about $50, so it might be worth it for you.
The duet sounds really good. There’s no doubt that the symphony is on another level from it though, not just because of the converters but also the clocking. However, the duet does sound really good and the preamps are very clean- you can make great recordings with it without a doubt. I have an old FireWire ensemble that I use as a standalone converter with my Apollo x8 and I have no complaints about the converters or the preamps on the ensemble. From what I remember of the duet, the ensemble preamps and conversion are very similar. They beat the pants off of the focusrite 18i6 I was using previously. The Apollo has nicer converters and clocking than the ensemble, but the difference isn’t very much.
@tja if it helps at all, in this video Dan Worrall recommends, rather than increasing the sample rate for the full project/device, using internal plugin oversampling when needed, i.e. when non-linear processes add extra harmonics above the Nyquist frequency, which may result in audible aliasing:
Got it, I do find the whole thing interesting as well
Do you remember the gist of it? Now that I saw that thread again I do remember the discussion and watching the video, but at the time I didn't really understand the sampling theorem and its implications.
