Q: Airfoil and Airport Express, is there latency/delay?

I want to be able to direct the output of my 'Late 2014' 5K iMac (10.11.6) to my (ParaSound P3/A23) stereo system using AirFoil 5 with Airport Extreme > Airport Express.

 

But the audio output has to be 'real time'; that is, no delay or latency at all. Both are in the same room!

 

I'm using notation software (Sibelius) and need to hear what I write immediately; unlike streaming where I believe there is an acceptable (2 second?) delay for buffering?

 

Can this be done, please?

 

If not with AirFoil, any advice on how gratefully received :-)

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Clean machine... no haxies; no Microsoft etc
