Does anyone know how to use Dirac Live through a remote PC?

I was thinking of doing it through a PCI card with digital input and output, and then returning the signal to my Apollo x4, which is the one I mainly use and the one that would send the audio to my speakers. This would add a certain degree of latency, although I don't know how much. I was wondering if anyone knows if this could be done somehow over the network, such as the Audio Gridder system, and if they could explain it to me. I imagine that doing it this way would have even less latency.

Thank you very much to those who read me.

Greetings.
 
I process the signal with Dirac on my Mac that is in the room next to the living room. After evaluating various options on how to transfer the signal, the best one was an active USB extension cable (10 meters). Practically zero additional latency and no glitch problem with few buffer size.
There are also extensions that convert USB to Ethernet but they are expensive and have more latency.
If you have to go beyond 10 meters you can chain two active USB extensions.

Thank you very much for your response. However, I do not understand how I could get the audio out and put it back in if I use the drivers of my Apollo x4. Could you please explain it to me? Thank you very much!
 
What is your current playback config exactly?
