Re: Repeater latency

I'll have to read the article but this does not seems correct.

For AD at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, I'd expect a latency of 1 /
44100 or approx 22.7 microseconds.  I.e., you'll get a new sample point
every 22.7 microseconds.  Now you could buffer up a bunch of sample points
and output them later (producing latency), but they still being produced at
a rate of 44,100 per second.

Likewise for DA at 44.1 kHz.

My guess is that the EM article is not discussing a pure AD then DA 
process.
