Yeah. A signal chain that is entirely analog from instrument to PAs is the gold standard for latency. It's awesome when it works!
I guess the problem is when it doesn't, it can be a trouble-shooting nightmare, as noise could potentially creep in at any stage. As a violinist, it's an ongoing battle for me since signal-to-noise is always poorer than with a guitar, given a small instrument simply can't put out as much sound energy.
So I'm fussing with pre-amps, active DIs, and the like. Sometimes I think if I could just digitize the signal close to the source, I could get a better result? Probably just wishful thinking though.
A good microphone is probably the best option for violin.
