Looking for HDMI I2S Cable Recommendation [Short Cable - 0.5 meters]

To connect Denafrips Venus 15 to network streamer transport. Some flexibility is desired. Would you go pure copper or pure silver? Any experience with AVPLAY HD-300? Want to keep cost [new or used ok] under $300. Thanks for input.

 +1 for Veritas Optimus 50

This cable between my Hermes and Terminator or DirectStream MkII recreates the most realistic sonic picture in my system. However, you must choose cables in a system approach. In my system, Optimus 50 is liken to no cables at all.

The best part is Veritas’ money back policy. Nothing to loose.

Another vote for Ricable I use their HDMI/I2S between my Denafripps Venus 15th and PSAudio Perfectwave CD/SACD transport and I works great.

Who care to purchase both Ricable and Veritas, compare them and make recommendations?

I own both and they are both excellent cables.  To my ears and in my setup the Ricable is a slight bit warmer cable.  I don't think you can go wrong with either one.  Also I tried the Ricable in both .5 and 1 meter versions and heard no difference at all. I use both cables in two different systems at this point.
