Certainly when latencies were measured in the tens of milliseconds, the ADA component was in the noise; now that we have fast enough machines and I/O subsystems to cut the buffering down, the conversion latency is a sizable fraction of the total. |
If ad/da really was a major part of the whole sum....wouldn't the numbers be somewhere to read about?Not even my old mackie d8b caused any latency that I could detect...
