Cattura

Rose RS130 has two i2s modes selectable from the A or B menu:
Catt

Mode A is compatible with PS Audio DAC and mode B is compatible with JAVS DAC.
Personally I have no problems with any digital player that I connect to my LAiV Harmony DAC as it automatically recognizes the compatible i2s

I recommend this HDMI cable, it’s cheap and high performing: Ricable SupremeMKII HDMI 2.0 Ultra HD 4K HDR Bandwith 29 Gbps

I have the same problem (reversed channels) with my iFi NEO Stream but have been using it happily with my R26 for years simply by switching the left and right channels on my amp when I’m streaming from the NEO. I know it’s not ideal, but it sounds just fine and I’m used to plugging and unplugging anyway depending on whether I’m using my integrated or my AVR. The Gustard also allows you to invert the phase if needed. Considering the cost of other dacs with configurable i2s pinouts vs. cost of ddc or shame of using a lesser USB input why don’t HI FI Rose/ r26 owners just use mode a and switch their left and right speaker cables? Just mentioning the obvious cause I read no mention of this in the thread and for some like me it could be deemed as just a minor inconvenience if you mostly stream anyway.
