I switched to RME Hammerfall converters maybe 15years ago, with a light pipe connection from their DIGI 9652 (I think) to my D8B console. I have been a big believer in ASIO for at least that long.
But as good as ASIO is, it really requires the drivers to be fast as well.
I recently bought a UA Apollo rack because after like 10 years and constant use, my RME FF800 just quit. I like the concept of Unison Technology on the UA, but it is danged hard to beat RME's drivers. I could routinely get round trip latency of 6-8msec. If you think about that number, that is like playing electric guitar and standing 6' from your amp.
