This works but it is hardly obvious. I created an aggregate device in
Audio MIDI Setup that contains both DACs. I made the 192kHz DAC the
Clock source and set it to 192kHz. I made the 96kHz DAC the output DAC.
I made the aggregate the output in Pure Musics audio setup.

I am not a software guru so Im only guessing but I think the 192kHz DAC
is telling Pure Music it is okay to send the audio aggregate a 192kHz
signal and that signal is being sent to the 96kHz DAC, which is capable
of playing 192kHz signals if you can get them to it. I have searched
the internet and can find no explanation of how audio aggregates
actually work, so this is pure guess-work.
