Jardy, Native Chirp drivers were developed and released this past May. It works fine until a recent macOS update. The OEM software is garbage, and thus there are reasons why a native chirp drivers was developed. I know these radios pretty well, as I am also an official direct wouxun dealer, and have dived pretty deep into the inner workings of these.
The E and T models are practically the same. Only real difference is that the firmware defaults to english upon reset, and the scrambler option is removed.
