Tony, I think the distinction here is that latency is only a concern during recording, and only then if monitoring live to play or sing along. That's when you need ASIO.

You can use any setting to play back audio. I think maybe that's what Bob was getting at. I run my BIAB using MME because then I can have other audio programs running too. I do my recording into my DAW anyway.
