So, let's try to compare...
ASIO: 24-bit @ 96 kHz; 32 samples of asio buffer.
MME: 24-bit @ 96 kHz; 52% of record level by windows mixer.
Balanced 1-st output looped to balanced 1-st input by trs to trs jack cable. rmma mono test. full level monitor output. input with instrument + pad mode. about 10 oclock gain knob. 100% output level by wdm.
Windows 10 x64.

ASIO driver settings
The identical knob settings on the device gets no difference between asio and wdm drivers. about latency - need something better than rmaa to compare - rmaa shows 220 ms with wdm and 200 ms with asio.
