the raydat should work, but there are very few users out there. i'm 
cc:ing adi on this, he is maintaining the rme drivers and should know 
more. can't comment on the hdspmixer, but even if there are some 
problems, they shouldn't be too hard to fix.

i'm using the hdsp madi, which works nicely, and might be an alternative.
i haven't used it at 192k much (only for making measurements), but i 
think it was ok.


hth,
