In frustration, I pulled the USB and reinserted it. Lo and behold I was up at 192k with ca. 12ms latency. Tested it with a pretty big project and no hiccups yet. Fingers crossed it is well put together, because for the price it beats the local second hand prices for bigger Focusrite models.

Sounds like you were listening to that guitar via two routes - direct and through Reaper. I had an experience recently listening to my Yaesu HF ham radio rig, which was connected through the direct input to the Behringer.
I had the "listen to this device" box ticked in the Windows audio settings, so I was hearing it direct with 0 delay, and through the PC with a slight delay. Thought for a second I was experiencing weird band conditions.
In this case, 'band' refers to the band of frequencies we call the 40 meter ham band... Hey; That might be a good name for a band, if I were to start one...
I don't think any patronage to a specific manufacturer is worthwhile - they're all making their product in China anyway...
The Behringer is a real good deal, but you and I are finding out that their drivers leave something to be desired. I read about driver issues before purchasing the UMC202HD, but I couldn't resist the price!
I have trouble with the Behringer disconnecting itself from the USB port when another device (not audio related) is plugged into another port on the same USB root hub. I was able to get an updated driver for the other device, so it doesn't knock out the Behringer anymore. If I remember correctly, moving one of the devices to another root hub did not fix the problem.
Do Macs have driver issues like Windows does?
