Howdy folks,

 

I'm new to the forum so sorry if this is (heavily) messed up. I searched and couldn't find what I was looking for. Apologies if this is in the wrong section and/or already answered. I'm looking to do a set up similar to the LTT cleanest setup, I want to have one thunderbolt from my laptop to an eGPU then daisy chain that to a dock. My problem is that I cannot find an adequate dock for my needs. I'm looking for a dock with 6 USB-A ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an ethernet port. A 7th USB port would be nice as I can would want more stuff connected in the future. If anyone could direct me to a dock like this or any platform for searching docks by available ports I would be very grateful.Thank you.

 

EDIT: I wrote that late at night while very tired, it has been edited for clarity.

That's a lot of functionality to want from a single dock. You will most likely not find that and have to have a dock and a eGPU separately, so connecting two cables.

 

To be clear, to use an eGPU, you need a computer with Thunderbolt 3. Plain Type-C will not be enough (as it is limited by USB capabilities).
