USB + Analog monitor controller w headphone amp

Hi, I'm looking for a particular piece of gear and am surprised to not find it. Maybe someone here can help.
USB-in with support for at least 48/24 (preferably 192/24 for future proofing)
Balanced analog input (send from my analog mixer)
At least one balanced analog out to my active monitors
A big knob
Affordable, sub-$200
The key thing is the USB input. I'm looking for a straight bit-perfect pipe from a 48/24 session in my DAW to the monitor controller's DAC.
I almost bought the Behringer MONITOR2USB ($99 USD) which ticks every single box except that it limits incoming USB to 48/16.
The Behringer Studio L ($149 USD) seems to have it all, but it also has mic inputs and bunch of extra features I don't really want to pay for.
I thought about getting a passive controller and repurposing one of my hi-fi DACs (Schiit Modi), but they output at consumer line level which seems problematic.
Thank you!
