Nice DDC BTW! I think u gonna be way happy with the results.
I2S cable recommendations
I just purchased a Denafrips Hermes DDC to connect to my Pontus II DAC via I2S. Anyone have recommendations for an I2S cable that is < $200? My budget is a bit fluid and am willing spend more if the value is justified by the performance. TIA.

Some people here have said good things about this DH Labs HDMI cable and they make good, high-value cables so you certainly could do worse… Now, some folks who’ve upgraded to more $$$ HDMI cables for i2S have reported they don’t hear much difference in this particular application. I’ll just say this — I’ve read that it’s very important to keep an i2S cable as short as possible (preferably 1 foot or less) as i2S was originally designed to be used internally within components and so degrades rapidly with distance. I started with this sub-$7 6” HDMI cable from Monoprice for just that reason (it was the shortest I could find) and got huge results and have felt no desire to throw more $$$ at it. You might wanna buy both of these, and if you don’t hear an appreciable difference just return the pricier cable https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13578 Hope this helps, and best of luck. |
