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.

Thanks, @jackd.  That seems consistent with Veritas being silver plated.  

On a side note, I just experimented with two USB A-to-B cables. I found the copper Cardas Clear to be warmer and smoother, while the silver-plated DHL Mirage has more kick / punch which I actually prefer.

Hope this works for you. We often talk about system synergy but our own ears/preferences is the ultimate key. Do share your experience after appropriate break-in.

@mosler666 ,  Is the Veritas Optimus 50 flexible enough to both bend and twist 180 degrees?  Thanks.

I had a Tubulus Argentus but found it a bit restrained with my Holo R2R Dac.

Switched to a Phasure I2S cable which allowed me to control the grounding continuity as well as implement individual device grounding and to control the layers of shielding.

The Phasure made a positive audible impact and cost substantially less than the Tubulus.

@mosler666 Will do.  It should be interesting.  It sounds like it's a relatively detailed sound quality which I like as long as it's not at the expense of losing low and mid frequencies.

@lanx0003 Have you read that it's silver plated?  I haven't seen anywhere that they talk about the makeup of the cable.
