I have an Eversolo T8, I want to use the I2S connection, the Eversolo has 8 pin variations to match the input of other devices. Does anyone have the pin config?
Hi @gassman_67,
I use Mode5 for IIS connection and Mode1 for IIS Mute. Yes, T8 and RD160 can be connected via Mode1 too by default, but left-right channels of DSD music will be reverted.

There is no officially standardized 1:1 I²S pin-mapping between the Eversolo T8 and the HiFi Rose RD160. Since they are products from different brands, the HDMI-I²S configuration is not unified, and therefore HiFi Rose cannot provide an official guideline on which specific T8 mode should be used.
However, based on user testing shared online, the most compatible configuration reported so far is to use Eversolo T8 in Mode 5, with the RD160 kept at its default I²S settings.
I just tried my new YBA YT302 on I2S with Rose RD160. With Great Success as expected with my RD160. The setting 5 on the i2s PIN-Configuration within YBA YT302 is right for RD160. Just follow the description here:
- DSDL-
- GND
- DSDL+
- BCLK/DSDCLK+
- GND
- BCLK/DSDCLK-
- LRCK/DSDR-
- GND
- LRCK/DSDR+
- MCLK+

- MCLK-

- DSD Flag or NC

- MUTE or NC

Important Hint: Left and Right Channels won’t be swopped …
Thank you for the great information.
