no,
there are other advantages though, you can keep all your cabling neat in a rack, the convertors are far enough away from all the computers fans and PSU that you can lower the noise floor a bit.
Latency shouldn't really be an issue with any soundcard these days, most sequencers have delay compensation, and as long as you're recording with the buffer low enough you could get away with monitoring through the software. Make sure you select the right driver in the software though, i've come across alot of people using ASIO multimedia drivers instead of the M-audio ASIO for example.
