## Metrum I2S‑LVDS Input Module for Jade, Onyx and Amethyst
**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 Metrum Jade, Onyx or Amethyst 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 Metrum 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.
### Compatibility Notes
- **Works with:** Eversolo DMP‑A8 and T8 (I2S mode)
- **Does not work with:** Eversolo DMP‑A6 (HDMI protocol, not I2S), Pro‑ject CD Box RS2 T (requires external master clock)
*The I2S‑LVDS input is intended for digital audio transports and streamers with native I2S over HDMI output. Do not connect video sources.*
