Does I/O Buffer Affect Export Quality?
I know that the I/O Buffer size can affect the playback quality and CPU-load balance, but I am wondering if it determines the quality of a bounced/exported mix?
Logic Pro X, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

It doesn't affect "quality" per se.
It's a buffer, the smaller the buffer the less latency but the harder the CPU has to work keeping it filled.As long as the buffer doesn't empty and create an overload condition you'reok.
The answer to your question is No, many set the I/O Buffer low (64, 128) when recording virtual instruments or live voice guitar..etc, and then set it higher (256, 512 or 1024)when mixing & bouncing.
