That was something else I wanted to comment on. The music is the most important part. If I just wanted to listen to theoretically perfect sources I could generate some sine waves in Audacity and be done with it.
Also, one needs to draw the OCD line somewhere. Improving your electronics and transducers makes everything sound better.
Even if your preferred genre is classical and you actually have a wide variety recordings, performances, and mixes/masters of each piece to choose from you need to invest a considerable amount of time to improve the quality of that single piece. You need to be pretty hard core for that cost benefit to work out.
Unfortunately, I'm not a gamer lol. My 3 year old Surface Pro specs barely reaches 5% of your gaming rig lol. It's completely fanless however which is ideal for my near field speaker listening. You do need some GPU upgrade (and more Nvidia + AMD stickers) soon though when the 3080Ti shows up on the market

I run a Gigabyte GTX1080 G1 like you and it has plentyyy of FPS for 144Hz gaming but I will upgrade to a 1080Ti when the urge strikes me. My 144Hz monitor only has a DVI connector(Other than HDMI) so other than a RTX2060 Super w/DVI connector none of the new RTX cards are compatible. Just finishing Sniper Elite 4 here in the next day or two. Catching up on games I had not played while this corona virus stuff is keeping me home.
JDSLabs Element II looks cool with that usable giant volume dial - not ashamed to admit that I’m willing to go “down” in specs just for the look and feel of it.
Yeah, I really like the design of the Element II, as well. Particularly with a custom engraving, it's just nice to look at on my desk - simple and elegant.
Still running with my i7/dual GTX 780s in SLI that I built....6 years ago now (wow!). If I were to build one today, I'd go with a Ryzen 9 and a 5700XT.

You can get a cable for that actually for pretty darn cheap i think monoprice has some good ones!
Also yeah driver issues is the main reason whats sad is technically directx 12 was supposed to easily support multiple video cards even from Amd and Nvidia and even Intel in the same system! Nope that never happen
As a side note any of you guys listen to music on youtube lately and click on "new comments" basically every one has a comment about this horrible virus sucks man. Main reason why i decided to start my research paper like 2 terms early lol.
When Intel releases gaming video cards things will hopefully get interesting. The market is topping out on prices even after the reductions after the shortages due to mining. Unless one is gaming at 1080p 144Hz the expense for the cards is simply too high right now. I'm not upping my resolution from 1080p anytime soon. I like the higher frame rate too much to go down in FPS and up in resolution.

Today i was going to buy red dead redemption 2 and i saw a video of it playing at like 40 FPS on my card at medium settings at 1440P i was a bit sad to say the least haha.
I at least attempt to game at 80 or so FPS at 1440P, maybe i need to get some more RGB or something i don't know

I'm still adjusting to running along behind my character in Sniper Elite 4 as compared to looking down the barrel in the first person. Red Dead redemption is fully 3rd person and for that reason I took it off my Steam Wishlist but I should put it back on again. I know it's good from the reviews. I've been watching GTX1080Ti prices and they can be found used for decent prices now. There are some boneheads expecting big bucks for them but some people are reasonable in their price. Perhaps you should sell off your GTX1080 and upgrade to a GTX1080Ti. It's a significant upgrade and should be a economical upgrade too if bucks are a consideration. I know that's my goal before I upgrade my 1080p 144Hz Acer monitor so I have the newer video connection for 1440p and higher. That's 2 years down the road I figure.
I always buy Acer monitors man i would switch to a GT1030 before i give up my monitor lol i got the first IPS 1440P 144hz Gsync monitor not switching to it breaks.
