How long for an HDMI cable to break in.
I've been using an Audioquest Blueberry for a little while and just got the Vodka 48 8k/10k to compare. I'm not hearing initially much of a difference and certainly not $600 worth. Anybody else compare the two? Direction is correct. When I put the Vodka in I realized the Blueberry was in wrong!
We are having absolutely no problem running 4K, 60Hz, with the 35 foot, 8K cable (@ $41) and like I said, I run it through walls and baseboard and it is rated for this. I’m betting many of those high priced cables are not. I noticed a slight difference in the plug between this and my other HDMI cables in that on this cable the internal portion of the plugs have a red coloration to them. |
@toddalin's 8K 48-Gbps HDMI cable was just over one dollar per foot. Why choose anything less? Especially for I2S, which MDMI cable was never designed to support anyway. I2S was never designed for any more than chip-to-chip transfer on a board, after all. Go for the shortest length possible, and hope! |
Technically the name for the 48-Gbps cable is Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable. It is tested for better resistance to EMI than other HDMI cables. It has to be tested with its terminations in place and is tested in special EMI labs. So my advice is don't scrimp but also don't pay a premium if there is a cheaper, certified Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable available. |
