I am trying to visualize the RS130 user interface:
If you have images, please include them in this topic. Add a short message explaining what the image is & the active icons (ie, what the icons do).
Song playback (default):
I sit 12 feet away – I suspect the metadata line & artist line will be difficult to read.
Sure would like to see the “content info” front panel display.
A moins d’avoir une télévision a une certaine distance ce sera pareil.
La tablette à proximité donne aussi les informations
Gil
If you have tablet displays, please please show them. I’ve been unable to find any.
Le principal sur ce type d’appareil c’est le rendu sonore, là vous vous occuper de detail en occultant le principal
Gilles is right. The purpose of the machine is to reproduce music. If you want to read clearly from any distance, please use a handheld.
For convenience, the following information was copied from: About VU meter
VU Meters for RS130 includes Type A, B, E, and F:
How to change VU Theme:
BTW, HiFi Rose stated “Since Macintosh has a copyright on the blue VU-meter, we have removed the corresponding VU-meter display from the Front Panel”
Found 1st Landscape view of RoseConnect (see below) – this display was from @ARey11 on the thread “[OTA] SW Ver 4.2(Rose 4.2.21.1) Software Release”
RoseConnect is running on Windows OS.
Especially take note of the left column -‐ it lists the 1st level of available choices. The user selected “Settings” which caused the “Settings Screen” to appear:
Thanks to @Bonte I now know what the setting “increase content info” does.
See User Setting “increase content info” -- what does this do
Example of “increase content info”:

Use the HDMI out on the Rose RS130 for multichannel (HMDI Passthrough):
Read thread I2S and the Rose 130
HighEnd Shop sells Tubulus with customize i2s pin configurations (at no extra charge)
For Pink Faun i2s cable (expensive cable) – customization unknown – see: Digital interlink I2S - Pink Faun
For another cable manufacturer that does custom pin configuration i2s HDMI cables (however, reviews are NOT the best), see https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000255873784.html?srcSns=sns_Copy&spreadType=socialShare&bizType=ProductDetail&social_params=21093606133&aff_fcid=5d53334ec865429fbc79eb433f36bc9…
So far, based on best of…forums & reviews, I am favoring the “Tubulus Concentus i2s Cable V2” (Pink Faun is too expensive for me).

@joyofmvid I think you are confused between two interface formats: HDMI and 12S.
HDMI - Used to connect devices to monitors and TVs and other AV devices using the HDMI 1.0, 1.3, 1.4, 2.0, 2.1 format. Uses HDMI cables which carry video and audio including surround/multi-channel. HDMI - Wikipedia
I2S - Used to connect streamers to DACs mostly internally. Externally can use RJ45, DVI, and HDMI cables. Carries 2 channel audio in PCM or DSD format.
You can’t just change the pin out to connect an HDMI device/socket to an I2S device/socket, using an HDMI cable. These are two distinct formats.
How else can I explain this?
Edited to more clearly describe i2s:
I know it’s not a standard AV HDMI cable. As you said, an i2s cable carries 2 channel audio in i2s format (which is a 3 level format, one level being clock information to reduce jitter)…
I am planning to get an i2s cable with an HDMI connector on both cable ends. On the RS130 end, the cable needs to be pinned to either Mode A or Mode B’s pin configuration. On my AVM 90 cable end (HDMI connector), the cable needs to be custom pinned to the Anthem pin configuration (assuming AVM 90 supports the i2s protocol on an i2s specific HDMI input).
Let me know whether I am on the right track or not.
So far, I’ve contacted Anthem and they said they accept i2s on HDMI. I still need to get the Anthem AVM 90’s pin configuration.
As for RS130, do you know the connector – is it DVI, HDMI, or either one?
RS130 has HDMI connector with A/B pin configurations. This outputs I2S signal/format.
I am sorry I can’t help you understand that you can’t plug in an I2S device into an HDMI format, I read the AVM manual just to be sure. I don’t see anything about I2S support. You are being misinformed. IT WILL NOT WORK. At best you get silence, at worst you short the streamer or pre.
