With the Renderer’s output set to HDX, the only issue should be the variable latency/processing time of the Renderer. Am I misunderstanding something?

The DAB "leverages the Pro Tools syncing mechanism" whatever they mean by that. I don't believe Aux I/O does.

But Paolo M said he's worked with the setup you describe and it's fine. I haven't personally tried it. Just trying to point out the difference between DAB as the Playback Engine and DAB through Aux I/O.

I don't like Aux I/O for anything critical but I'm also not running 2023.3 so I'm not the best judge here . Perhaps its improved.
