its a usb to 3.5 mil adaptor.
it appears to have no DAC and i have heard of no-one putting analog audio over a big usb plug. and it appears to be vaguely standardised.
Any ideas how one actually uses this?
Windows 10 mandatory updates and crashes happen..
And in the real world crashes happen no matter how good it is...
You trust home Windows reliability too much...
Also potential hardware failures are going to be really painful due to the number layers of software. Fixing Windows, storage server/pfsense takes everything down with it...
You do not know the hell you could unleash...
As guy above said CPU benchmarks are the least of your concerns but..this will become a painful headache. Especially if Windows reboots, power failure, etc... At which point you will give up change the system to an easier to maintain one
