-Now the impulse should line up on the grid line, or very close. This is because the audio server has compensated for the hardware delay, allowing the timing to be precise. In my case here my "observable latency" went down to 12 samples. This works out to a delay of $\frac{12}{48000} = 0.25$ milliseconds.+Now the impulse should line up on the grid line, or very close.
