What era is your host machine for the USB RME?
I used it on my Asrock Z97extreme6, Intel i7 4790K (Haswell) where XITE-1 PCIe card was inserted too.
The Babyface also works well w/ my Lenovo W540/541 series laptops and I bought a Delock USB3 Expresscard 34 to connect.
No problem w/ running @128 samples,- still a "safe" setting" to run VSTis and play.
But 1 ADAT I/O only was not enough to combine w/ XITE and 2 PCI SCOPE systems.

Yes, if memory serves it’s the 2012/13 bottom consumer CPU’s, and 2014/15 HEDT CPU’s that integrated the USB right into CPU. This is when baby face performance to exceed PCIe (removal of safety buffer option). So the 47xx still had it on the external chipset, I believe. Been 10 years and so I’m not referencing that now to be sure (away from home and on mobile so being lazy).
Onboard 3rd party USB chipsets still need safety buffer too iirc.

I think you´re right !
I see safety buffer for Babyface USB.
Nonetheless it´s great,- but PCIe is better.
