Is there sound latency with this product? If so, how much latency is there?

Depends on how many plugins your project is using, but it's very low even with complex tracks.

can i use a goxlr with it ?

Only if you split your mic/headset to 2 separate inputs/outputs as you can only use 1 device for each input/output. Since the goxlr is usb only and not compatible with a toslink cable you cannot connect the two for a single output. I would say if you don't need to mix your audio on the fly and want an upgrade solely for audio input and output quality from a goxlr, then the ae-9 is better for both mic input as it's balanced(usb is unbalanced), and a much higher audio output quality. unfortunately not a balanced headphone/headset plug, but have had no issues like static or feedback from the non balanced output even at max volume. I use my ae-9 with my shure sm7b (with cloudlifter and phantom power on), and my sennheiser hd650s with no issues.

does this card support balanced audio?

For the mic input yes, for the audio output no unless using toslink to separate dac
