Direct monitoring

ASIO direct monitoring as in Cubase? Why Reaper can't have this feature?

By the time Reaper sees the audio, the input latency has already gone by.

Direct monitoring is a feature of audio interfaces and their windows drivers, and is out of Reapers (and Cubases) control.

Yes, but the ASIO Direct Monitoring protocol is a way around this. Essentially, from what I understand, it gives the DAW control over the interface monitoring. You can do it with Cubase and RME, for example.
