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.

@mosler666 The Optimus 50 showed up today. I've been listening for a bit and the sound quality is excellent.  I also swapped a pair of tubes a few nights ago that were an improvement.

I suspect that both the cable and tubes have improved things.  Excellent detail and realism.  Punchy bass.  Excellent separation of instruments. Not that it sucked before the change, but things are a bit better. I'm digging it. 

Maybe I'll swap some I2s cables for comparison at some point, but I can definitely say that the Veritas cable is not a weak link in the chain.

Glad it’s working out for you. Perhaps you should do one change at a time to better gauge the change/improvement. Have fun and Enjoy.

@mosler666 yeah, I'll run the tubes and Veritas cable for a while and pop the old Wyred 4 Sound cable back in to see if I hear any change. I did listen to the tubes with the old cable for a couple of days before the Veritas showed up.  I think the Veritas is a small improvement.  It definitely isn't having a negative impact on sound quality.
