GIGAPORT HD 2. Installation 2.1 System Recommendation GIGAPORT HD is not simply a standard digital audio interface card, but a high-resolution device capable of advanced processing of audio content. Even though GIGAPORT HD is built to have low-CPU resource dependability, system specifications play a key part in the GIGAPORT HDs performance. - Page 6 GIGAPORT HD used for DVD playback or more simple DJ applications that don’t require ASIO. Under Mac OS X this could be applications like Garageband. Please note that our special driver is also required if you are using higher sample rates than 44.1kHz.

Depending on the typical application (e.g. for playback of software synthesizers) a smaller latency is an advantage.
