Anyway, whilst Carbon looks pretty good, I don't understand (if it is truely a compliant AVB product) why you cannot use it with an AVB supported switch.
I have WAVES SoundGrid (also AVB) and it is just fine with supported network switches. Low latency and all.

The OMNI port, well, that's a long memory! I don't think they ever advertised that the port would actually do anything (there's certainly nothing in the manual). But, fair point, Avid has chopped and changed a lot in the interface department, between doing it themselves, rebadging third-party products (Apogee and DAD, AJA and Blackmagic, all great companies though!) and now back to their own designs.
I imagine Carbon works fine with an AVB switch, they just don't want to support it. If someone wants to lend me one I'll test with mine
SoundGrid is not AVB (otherwise, the SoundGrid BR1 would not exist).
