> What if the console is half a km away? Then a ninety-six thousandth of a second's worth of latency seems pretty irrelevant? Even if you were decreasing the latency by using a higher sample rate, which you aren't. The signal coming out of a FIR filter will come out at the same time whatever the sampling rate. I guess it's conceivable, if you have no buffering whatsoever, that the very first sample will come out slightly quicker, but that is honestly irrelevant. The overall signal will have the same timing at either sample rate. Unless you've had to introduce more latency to cope with the demands of the higher sample rate.
