The Aurora definitely uses some of the faster converters. AD latency at a 2X rate is 9 samples, DA is 4.6 samples. 3 samples are required at any rate for servicing the FPGA.

So... using the 32 buffer:

A/D: 9 samples
In buffer: 32 samples
Servicing the FPGA: 3 samples
Out buffer: 32 samples
D/A: 4.6 samples

That's 80.6 samples roundtrip, unless I forgot something (BTW, what's "2X rate"?)

80.6 samples is 1.82 milliseconds @ 44.1, or 0.84 milliseconds @ 96 kHz, which is terrific.

Does the driver support recording @ 96 kHz - using the 32 buffer - without getting artifacts? That's not possible on a RME Fireface 800...


If these numbers are correct, the total roundtrip using the 64 buffer would be 144.6 samples, which is 3.28 ms @ 44.1 or 1.5 milliseconds at 96 kHz. Also impressive.
