Only if you find that at similar latency settings for both devices, you will get crackling/dropouts earlier with the BF running, then you should look at potential performance issues on the system. Else, what Timur said... :-)

Hello!
Currently i have 48. I think the default was 1024. But just for playback i am using 48. I am also using 48 for my pci-card just for comparison. But true just because they are the same buffer size doesn't mean they have the same latency. However having 2048 on the bF doesn't do any difference, not playback wise. It's not cracklings or dropouts of any kind, there's a few ms delay everytime i start the track or resume it's position in any part of the track when pressing play. And it doesn't matter what type of encoding of the track it is, whether it be mp3 or 24-bits 192 kHz. DPC-checker show im usually well below 150us, ranging from 60 to 150us at most.
In Ableton it seems to be workign okay using ASIO. There's no difference between the ESI card and the BF but as i described above using ASIO in foobar2000 for playback isn't particular well with the BF. Using Directsound with the BF is no problem though, no latency problems there.
Thanks!
