The RTL at 64samples (44.1) is around 4,7 (that’s according to ableton readings so it might not be super accurate). I am not sure if Apogee uses hidden buffers. I gave that 32samples figure as a reference only. So I'd likely stay with what you already have and check for some suitable ADAT expansion for more I/Os. vocals to headphones), you can use direct monitoring, although depending on particular artists, with 3.7 ms it won't be any problem even with native monitoring in most cases (IME). For those cases, where you might want lower latency (eg. Also I don't think, 3.7 ms RTL will be any problematic for almost any real work (it's actually pretty close to roundtrip of older digital mixers with analog I/Os or newer ones with networked audio I/Os). IMO you can hardly find any other interface, which would give you some significant improvement in that regard. However your reported results with Apogee are already pretty exceptional, if that's real and you can work at 32s buffer. Good TB or PCIe interfaces can do touch better. say around 4.5 ms at 64s buffer (UCX will be likely around 5 ms), but further reduction of that with given sample rate is technically very difficult (I'd say close to impossible), yes you can find some interfaces with 32 or even 24s working buffer option, but this isn't so much reflected in further lowering of RTL, because you've just reached plateau, where has to be used also additional (hidden) offset used to retain some elementary reliability of audio streaming. Say that 802 is superbly good (actually no one matches that via USB). However with regards to further reducing of roundtrip latency, I think, you have unreachable expectations. Similarly is their 802, which is together with BF Pro best performers at USB bus.
