192kHz recording--with an ADC, not an interface

It took me a while to figure out how to record at 192kHz with a computer audio interface; I learned that you have to specify the interface as both input and output. I see no sense in that, but OK. Unfortunately, then I realized that my interface is too noisy at high frequencies to allow me to do what I want to do, so I'd like to use instead a high-quality ADC, which when set up to record music doesn't accept output from my computer; it's a one-way device. I tried setting up Audition with the ADC as input device and an audio interface as the output device--but Audition keeps telling me that the audio hardware has changed, and asking if I want to go to hardware setup.

I go, but it looks the same as before; the choices are correct. So then I click OK and try to record again, and the same thing happens. I can't record.

An audio interface is a very fine thing, but much professional recording is done with an ADC. I find it hard to believe that AA, which is something of an industry standard, can't record at 192 with a stand-alone ADC. Is that really the case, or is there a way to fix this?

Please don't tell me I don't need 192kHz. I promise you I do, for my application.

Thanks.
