Here are some ways that latency happens:
1-playback buffer(higher=more latency, lower=less latency).
2-A>D and D>A conversion(lower sample rates are around 1.2ms, higher sample rates have less).
3-plugins(some have zero, while others have hundreds or thousands of samples of latency).
4-remember that plugins on a Master track are not compensated for(because they usually do not need to be).

I am in fact using direct monitoring through my Orion 32 (low latency monitoring is active in Pro Tools). Like Ben said, I've always thought that PT automatically compensates for all of this. It certainly used to before I upgraded to the most recent Pro Tools.
