I am looking for a high-quality HDMI cable for I2S from a CD Transport to the DAC...

Understanding from what I've read, it seems that I2S is a great way to go as an interface from the CD transport to the DAC...  I'm looking for a sonically high-quality HDMI cable that anyone is using for this purpose only.  If you can give me an idea as to what HDMI cables you've tried and why you chose the one you're using, that would really help !  My DAC is the Denafrips Terminator+ and I'm considering purchasing the Jay's-Audio CDT2-MK3 transport...  Both units are directly compatible with each other in terms of I2S.  
Thanks !  John

Get aTubulus Concentus i2s Cable. It is a dedicated cable just for audio. It won't work for your TV, I had the top of the line Wireworld Silver HDMI and the Tubulus is much better. More open, better tonality, more dynamic, etc. Really a big step up.

I have a medium Wireworld which is fine but nothing special. I made the mistake of buying on Aliexpress (seller RYCFENZ HIFI Store, but the name may be temporary. Because they keep changing). Said the threads were of silver, &c. When the cable arrived, it didn't even work and the seller gave me a terrible service, lying in the dispute, saying that my device was not compatible, even though I sent photos and videos. Here is the alert for those who are still looking for an i2s HDMI cable.
