I recently purchased a Macbook Air (2020 M1). It comes with two USB-C ports and not much else. Looking over threads here and reviews on Amazon, it seems like everyone should be wary of which USB-C hub to buy, but it isn't clear which one to *actually* buy.
Does anyone here have a laptop/USB-C hub/DAC/Amp/headphone combo? With only two USB-C ports, it's easy to run into limitations:
* I use an external monitor, 4k/60Hz, which takes up one USB-C slot. (My monitor isn't able to charge my laptop via this connection.)
* The power adapter takes up the other.
* Crap I'm out of ports.
Does anyone run a 4k/60Hz external monitor off of the same hub as the DAC? How's the audio/video? Are there hubs that specifically work well with this laptop?
I am looking at hubs like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087QZVQJX/
TIA.
