Swans M300MKII + Subwoofer

Hi Everyone.
I want to add extra lows to pair M300MKII. Planning plug M300 via xlr along with subwoofer in Audient ID14 using 1+2 for speakers and 3+4 for subwoofer OR plug M300s via sub high pass output.

But(after watching Z review) I have a concern about signal delays in M300 for both options. Around 17:00 ( https://youtu.be/o0PZegq5B8s?t=1024 ) he mentions that even analog signal gets processed by DSP before. Did anyone had a chance to test sub with M300?

Focusrite has a pretty good and simple answer.

Does analogue-to-digital conversion cause latency.
"The answer is yes but with incredibly little latency. The minimum latency the human ear can detect is about 11ms. It would take between 10 and 20 stages of A/D and D/A before we noticed any latency in a signal.

When considering latency in your system, A/D and D/A stages are negligible - it is more the audio buffers for your audio interface and sampling frequency that you should be concerned with."

As for M300MKII the last part might be more relevant but since you have the M300MKII… it probably does not matter anyways if there has not been issues you have noticed.
