HDMI cable to utilize I2s Connection from LAIV uddc to Denafrips Terminator 2


So I’ve decided to test out the LAIV UDDC. I’m doing this to utilize the I2s connection route. Can folks who do this recommend a proper HDMI cable for the connection? Would a standard HDMI cable be sufficient to test the sonic benefits?

 

Thanks for your insights.

@whart I also have a ET-3. According to ChatGTP Shanling has their own I²S pin layout while my DAC has the PS Audio pin layout. 
Chat provided the following. (I bought a USB cable from Ghent and am very happy)

 

  • Source Device: Shanling ET-3 with its specific I²S HDMI pinout.
  • Destination Device: DAC adhering to the PS Audio I²S HDMI pinout standard.
  • Required Pin Remapping: As detailed above.
  • Desired Cable Length: Specify the length suitable for your setup.
  • Material Preferences: If you have preferences regarding conductor materials (e.g., OCC silver, tinned copper), mention them.

 

 

Manufacturers such as Audiolund Design, Tubulus Cables, and GHent Audio are known for crafting custom I²S HDMI cables tailored to specific pinout configurations.
