Sonnet I2S-LVDS HDMI Module

Sonnet I2S‑LVDS Input Module
Configurable pinout, 35mV-3.3V differential input, supports 44.1-384 kHz - no more custom cables.

The new I2S‑LVDS module brings true plug‑and‑play flexibility to your Sonnet DAC. Designed as a snug‑fit HDMI module, it accepts differential input voltages from an extremely wide 35mV up to 3.3V, making it compatible with virtually any source that outputs I2S over HDMI - regardless of signal level.

Solve the Pinout Puzzle

Signal pinning is adjustable with onboard jumpers (or solder bridges), so you can match the pin configuration of your streamer or transport without needing a custom cable. Try different HDMI cables, experiment, and find the combination that sounds best to you.

Performance That Follows Your Source

The I2S‑LVDS module is source‑clocked: when your transport has a clean, low‑jitter clock, your Sonnet DAC reveals its full potential. All high‑resolution PCM formats are supported, from 16‑bit to 32‑bit, 44.1 kHz to 384 kHz.

For the Technophile

Jitter is a time‑domain phenomenon with a frequency component - that's why phase‑noise plots tell a more complete story than a single jitter figure. Because the I2S input uses the source clock directly, the quality of your streamer or transport matters. Feed it a pristine signal, and the I2S‑LVDS module passes that purity straight to your DAC's conversion stage.

Works with: Eversolo DMP‑A8 and T8 (I2S mode)
