Hi everyone,

I'm wondering what the best option would be for connecting (2) 1080p HD displays to my new 2016 ntMBP for a comfy home office setup.

Here's what I'm currently thinking:

Port 1:
Apple USB-C AV Media Adapter, use HDMI output to HD display, USB 3.1 to powered USB 3 hub for peripherals, and pass power through to the MacBook via the USB-C port on the adapter (which is strictly for powering the MacBook only)

Port 2: Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter --> Thunderbolt 2 to DVI adapter for second HD display.

Any other / better ideas, or docks / adapters that may work better (that are currently released / actually exist?)

Thanks for any info/suggestions!
