Digidesign DSP card used with Apogee converters?

I don't understand this; When a large studio purchases high end 0 latency DSP cards, (like the ones that come with Digidesign hardware), are these cards the actual converters for their DAW/Sequencer? Or is it common to use Digidesign DSP cards in conjunction with Apogee converts as Apogee being the main converters?

I guess what I’m asking is: If a recording engineer really loves the way Apogee converts sound, what does he/she do when they want to make their DAW perform to the same standards as a Digidesign setup? I don’t understand, are these DSP cards used, as more of an ripping interface, but not actually handling the conversation? I'm sure Digidesign makes converters also, but is there a true 0-latency solution for systems running Apogee?

Thank you.
 
Never mind, please disregard this question. it was pretty obvious after I looked around the apogee web site that there are cards that let you interconnect.

...Sorry for the spontaneous post, I should have looked first, will do next time.
