Best answer

Any Network card or motherboard with the Intel i210 Chipset 

Intel Chipset that supports AVB is i210 - Datasheet

In the US, this can be obtained from this vendor

NOTE: this will only address the hardware support portion of the problem. To record AVB audio on a Windows PC, you would also need OS/driver/software support for AVB. As of this time, driver/software support of AVB audio on Windows is only available through solutions from third party vendors such as this:
