Best I2s cable for the Money?

Bought a DAC with I2s input and want to buy a decent i2s Interconnect.
+ How important is the quality of this cable ?
Thanks

However, I would say the difference in sound did not justify the price difference. FWIW - Steve Nugent at Empirical Audio made some I2S cable comparisons and found differences between various cables.

IIRC the RAL cable cost me $295 and versus the stock Northstar cable I didn't hear that much difference. I have no comparative test results to refer you too, but you might want to try over on Audio Asylum. There could be some valuable information over there.
