Even when a device supplies a native ASIO driver, you may find that their WDM driver works as well or better. You must test each on each device. My Tascam, for example, works better with SONAR using the WDM driver, and this is the recommendation of both companies for that device.

The only reason you need ASIO anyway is if you are recording AND you have latency issues doing so (meaning, you hear unacceptable delay).
