Even the worst case MIDI delay, 28 ms at Buffer 1024, is about the same delay one might experience when hearing a fellow bandmate from across a modest sized stage. OTOH, DP's audio sync is so tight on my Mac that it puts a frog's behind to shame.
All in all, it's nice to know things are copasetic in DP on the Mac (under Sierra), timing-wise.
For the OP: My testing was performed entirely within the digital domain, but involved a round trip to and from my USB-connected 828es. If we passed thru a pair of converters (D to A > A to D), I'd expect an imperceptible (and consistent) bit of additional delay.
