I have the card running in ADAT mode. 2*64 sounds terribly distorted on my system. 2*whatever seems not to work well with any buffersize for me. I get the best results (=12ms in/out) with sr 96000 and 4*32 (as long as i don't move my mouse to much :-/ ) The only problem now is that osc~, metro etc run at about half speed..

I forgot to mention, latency is better when you use the card in ADAT mode. The digi96/8 has a fixed buffer of 64 KB with divided into 8 or 32 periods. It uses the same buffer for stereo and ADAT mode. The smallest total latency is about 3 to 4 of the smallest periods. IIRC from past experience, in linux I needed at least 3 out to run without distortion and there is always at least one in, but maybe the windows ASIO driver works better and can deal with a output buffer of 2 periods. The smallest period is 2048 bytes With 32bit samples that makes 512 samples. In stereo , a period is 256 frames, in ADAT only 64. At sr=48000 you should get 2*64 = 128/48000 = 5ms output latency Of course you need an ADAT ad/da converter.
