How to set buffer size on mac?

That has been our experience - hope it might help

Yes you are correct there is no such thing as "zero latency" in the world of silicon logic, so any test that reports that result is invalid.
My friend using Win10 and a Scarlett 2i2 sees that "0" value reported in our sessions using ASIO drivers.

Using a Saffire Pro firewire interface I get a reliable 3.4 ms test result w/no jitter, no dropout, running Mac OS 10.11 on a 2012 MBP 13", with the default settings on the latest JK client.

It's true that Mac users cannot change their buffer size but most of the time it doesn't matter - the defaults are good.

Don't change your network packet frame size, unless you want to leave the internet behind.

Your buffer(s) are in your computer OS, your LAN adapter, your switch (if you have one), your router, and whatever you have for a modem. I don't recommend digging into those areas, unless you like spending days re-engineering your networks.

Better to make sure you have good cables (no kinks, no cracks, no slits, etc)
