Topic: UCX 'vs' UC .... ultra-low-latency comparison ... is this correct ?

Hi all !

In comparing the ultra low latecny performance of the  UC  'vs'  the UCX, is my maths / latency figues below accurate:-

UC

AD  43 Samples
DA  28 Samples

UCX

AD  14 Samples
DA   7 Samples

So ...... at  44.1k and at a 48 Sample Buffer setting, the total round trip latency for each is as follows:-

UC

AD  43 Samples
DA  28 Samples
Buffer In  48 Samples
Buffer Out  48 Samples
Safety Buffer  32 Samples

Total Round Trip Latency at 44.1k  =  199 Samples  or  ~ 4.5ms

UCX

AD  14 Samples
DA   7 Samples
Buffer In  48 Samples
Buffer Out  48 Samples
Safety Buffer  32 Samples

Total Round Trip Latency at 44.1k  =  149 Samples  or  ~ 3.4ms

So in conclusion, at a 48 Sample Buffer setting @44.1k the UCX  is a full  1.1ms  or  %25 lower latecny than the UC  ?

Is the above correct ?

Thanks,
Ben

Would be interesting to know. Then UCX should only be  %25 percent more expensive.

Hi Jarrett,

why would it only be 25% more expensive? you have a lower latency, but you also get better pre's, better conversion, DSP and it works with an iPad! aswell as totalmix FX

Right you arrrrr, Capt. Just wishful thinkin on my part. I want the UCX but she just be a touch out of my pocket range.

Id would seriously consider saving for an extra couple of months, it really is worth it!
