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.

Any HDMI cable will work, but optimally you want the cable to be a foot or less.  I use this and the sound is so good I’m not itching to upgrade, and as the 1 foot length is only 8 bucks it might be a good option just to test it out without risking $$$.

If you wanna buy something better I think the Wyred 4 Sound cable mentioned by @sls883 mentioned looks very interesting, and the DH Labs HDMI 2.1 is probably good as well but minimum length is 1.6 feet.  Frankly I think any are good enough to tell you if the connection itself is superior.  Hope this helps.
