Latency difference between Valeton GP-200+MOTU-M2 vs Valeton GP-200 (as an audio interface)

In this video, I give some metrics based around the latency between Valeton GP-200+MOTU-M2 vs Valeton GP-200 as an audio interface (USB-C).

Thank you for this video! Did you use the official Valeton ASIO Driver for this test?

@@p.j.5311 Yes

@@Tone-Quest Thanks for the quick reply! How did you configure your interface? My Focusrite Scarlett Solo has an “Inst” button, which I have switched off. Also, only one cable goes from the mono (L) output from the Valeton to the interface input, is that correct?

@@p.j.5311 I guess the first thing to ask is, what are you trying to do or achieve? To record or to perform your own latency test?
I use the MOTU M2 audio interface, its inputs can accept mic, line or guitar level signal, so I didn’t have to do anything special.
Since you have the Focusrite Scarlett Solo, turning off “INST” sounds appropriate.
Also, only one cable goes from the mono (L) output from the Valeton to the interface input, is that correct? Yes, that is correct.

So you're better off using an audio interface with the Valeton?

Yes, at least that is what I’m seeing.
