Metrum Octave and 192khz?


I'm considering buying the Metrum Octave even though it has 2 hurdles for me (1) no volume control for direct to amp (2) no stated support for 192khz. I can probably live with out the volume control. Comments online look like folks have had both success and failures using the Octave for 192Khz. So consider this an informal poll for any willing Metrum Octave owners to help me and other fellow audiogon members considering the Octave to understand how likely 192khz would be to work or if a particular input device improves the chance it will work

1) are you able to get 192khz sync reliably with your Metrum Octave (yes/no)?
2) what input device(s) are you using when you try to sync 192khz with your Metrum Octave?

any shared user experience here deeply appreciated

According to Metrum, 1 in 100 will work with 24/192 files. My did and sounded great.
My Octave works well with 192khz via AudiNirvana being fed through an Audiphileo 2. It had a few bugs originally then I reinstalled the Audinirvana and upgraded it to the latest version and now it works just fine.
When I had the Octave it could do 192 but not all units could according to Cee. The new HEX model can with no inconsistency per 6Moon's.

Like audiojedi, both of mine accept the 192 signal from my Squeezebox Touch but sounds warbled.
I have never even sat in front of a system with a Metrum Octave, so I may have no business posting here, but I do want to comment that I have had many files sound garbled with different DAC's depending on bit and conversion rate. I use PC, so I also can't speak toward MAC, but in every case, switching from Wasapi to Kernal output or vice versa. Overall I have been able to get the file to play with a clean output. Overall Kernal has worked best for me. You may want to give that a try and I hope it helps, Tim
