When streaming audio to another device over the internet, you want the experience to be as close as possible to playing audio in-person.
Unfortunately, latency can pose a significant obstacle. Noticeable delays between a live performance and what is heard through monitors or headphones can make remote audio collaboration and recording frustrating.
However, with LISTENTO, you can enjoy lossless audio up to 32bit PCM with just 0.1 seconds delay. Find out more below or start your free trial now.

What people also ask about low latency audio streaming
What is low latency audio?
Audio latency is another way of describing the delay before you hear the audio. Low latency is usually defined as anything at or under 100 milliseconds or 0.1 seconds.
What is low latency streaming?
Low latency streaming is audio streaming with a delay of 100 milliseconds / 0.1 seconds or less. Latency is an inevitable part of audio streaming even with the highest imaginable internet speeds, as it takes time for any matter, even light, to travel.
However, within certain limitations, you can keep this low enough so that it isn’t noticeable. For example, if two people with reasonably fast (and more crucially stable) internet connections, living in the same city, could definitely jam over the internet without having to travel to meet each other using solutions like LISTENTO
How do i get low latency audio?
There are various ways of maintaining low latency audio locally in your own setup. The most basic are reducing the buffer size on your DAW or using direct monitoring. This is where audio is sent straight from the interface to your headphones or studio monitors, rather than going through the computer and back, enabling you to listen to the audio in its natural form.
