In general, do external DACs experience any kind of audio lag/delay?
I experience a small measure of lag with my Onkyo 805 (~47ms) when using its DAC (through SPDIF/HDMI/toslink). It is noticeable during certain types of usage, such as monitoring a microphone and music games (ie Rock Band). The onkyo maybe a special case as it's dac is connected to an Audyssey chip that adjust timings and such for room correction, but I just want to make sure that headphone dacs don't suffer from the same audio lag.
I assume most of you use your DACs primarly for music listening, so delays aren't a big deal, but it does to me as I will be using it for many other things.
