Is there anyone out there using an Onyx Satellite with DP6 on an intel Mac Pro? I am having problems with latency, I can't select "direct hardware Playthrough"

Hey A. We all have some latency when it comes to monitoring in DP - set the buffer at 128 or 256 and you'll be okay. But with direct monitoring, there should be no latency, unless there's no direct monitoring...

I demoed the Satellite a couple of years ago and the first thing I noticed was latency. it was unusable for monitoring. They had started dropping the price on these things just before I tried one out, perhaps this is why.

I would ask Mackie since this is not a MOTU product. I wish you luck.
