I'm electronics designer by trade... I would like to know what AD converter we're talking about exactly? I mean I'd liek to read that datasheet as well.
I do know that thee are several reasons that AD converters can have sampling times that are fractions of the samples real time length because of oversampling and different converter topologies, but I'd like to know anyway
And frankly, those sub sample conversion times are only relevant in very specific circumstances. Most of the time Nyquist sampling theorem holds and it doesn't really matter where in the signal you sample, as long as you sample often enough and your sampling clock is steady (minimal amount of jitter).
So in my opinion you can just round that delay to the nearest whole sample and forget about the sub sample timing issue. Yes, your waveform would be corrected in DAW just a hair (0.1 samples) early of what it really is, but unless you're trying to sync up multiple devices with different converters and different converter latencies it's not a real issue as long as you don't try to put exactly the same signal through that different converter at the same time and then try to do summing or other stuff to it with another copy of the signal etc.... They wouldn't necessarily null out and you would get distortion from that timing issue.
But as long as you don't split them up like that (let's say left stereo channel goes to the converter 1 and right goes to converter 2 with different conversion time) there's no issue
