PT sees any interface as a Digi interface and applies delay accordingly. since Apogee 16X interfaces are actually faster than Digi 192s, more delay is required.
from correspondence with Apogee:

The only time when ADC is crucial (with regard to hardware) is when creating
hardware inserts on individual tracks of a multi-tracked source, such as
drums. Since PT does not know the latency values of the Apogee hardware,
they need to be entered in manually. We recommend using the TimeAdjuster
plug-in. To determine the amount to enter in TimeAdjuster, do the following.
1) Find a sound with an easily identifiable transient spike and rout and
record it to a second audio track. Zoom in to the waveform, and determine
the delay in samples between the playback spike and the recorded spike.
2) Now create the hardware insert and record the spike again, determining
once again the delay between the playback and record.
3) Subtract the second delay from the first, thus giving the amount of delay
introduced by the hardware insert. Enter this value into the TimeAdjuster
plug-in.
can be done with a plug or by nudging the required amount of samples manually. i also understand PT applies different values to the first eight channels of 16X than to the second eight (because sees it as a Digi box). hope this helps.
