Does ASIO latency size matter during playback?

A good programmer would argue that latency is a non-issue for playback. "Just set it to highest level as we get less context switches which is more efficient...". This is not correct for best SQ (Sound Quality).

After months of playing around with Cplay/cMP/Juli@ settings i have to conclude that in my config high buffer settings sounds better. When i choose small buffer in cplay or the smallest latency at the juli@ panel, the sound looses musicality en smoothness. Maybe its a bit more refined, but less enjoyable.

What is your experience with latency settings?
