ASRock X470 Fatal1ty Gaming ITX/ac Motherboard Pictured

I don't know. Like some sort of fashion trendy thing. Gucci, Armani... show off etc... same with audio gear.

Well I can add an image of a mature design. Lynx E44 card. They adress the pcie latency flaws by using very fast Spartan CPU.

The design is tight, proven and boring. Yet works like an atomic clock. No bells and whistles, just plain precision. Audiophiles are a funny bunch, reminds me of the flat earth rocket cuckoo guy.

You have a point... but that card you link is listed at $1,095!
