The MPD debug log you posted shows MPD is trying to stream a file being served from Audirvana Studio.
Further, the error messages we see are being thrown by ffmpeg, which is a swiss-army-knife kind of tool for decoding (and other things) all sorts of codecs. It has an endless list of options and error messages fit for a cognoscente. It's third-party software just like MPD.
So, upmpdcli has already passed the relevant URL to MPD. MPD is using its curl input plugin to fetch the track and its ffmpeg decoder plugin to deal with its WAV content.
I'm not going to pretend I know what you should do next. There are questions which come to mind, though.
1. When you said the same file played ok from a USB drive, was it exactly the same WAV file? What was MPD's debug output when you played it?
2. Early on, you said "The issue is only with 192khz local and Tidal files." (where I assume "local" means files in your Audirvana Studio file system). Let's forget about Tidal for a minute.
MPD uses different decoder plugins to handle differently encoded file content. Your example problem file is WAV encoded. You've already said you could play DSD files. How about FLAC files? If only WAV files cause the problem, I'd focus on the path of Audirvana feeding a WAV file through the curl input plugin to the ffmpeg decoder plugin. All this is happening in code we have no control over.
[Note-I dislike the common use of khz to refer to sampling rates, It's properly kbps, but I'm using khz here to avoid transliterations.]
3. When you said you could play 192 khz files using other UPnP control points, were you still using Audirvana as the media server or was there another? Were you still playing the WAV files?
Candidly, I'm hoping 192 khz FLAC files play without issue. Then it's easy to recommend transcoding your WAV files to FLAC files. This has auxiliary benefits. FLAC files have smaller file size and better support in the world of metadata editors and readers. I know it's a coward's way out but....
