Looking for a Short High Quality HDMI Cable

I recently picked up a SACD player and am routing the signal into an external DAC. Transport signal out via HDMI to a D.Bob then DOP64  via coax to the DAC. True HDMI, not configured as I2S. I'm looking for a short good quality HDMI cable of less than a meter. For now I picked up a .6M Pangea off Amazon but looking for better. Audioquest makes .6 meter but for the Asian market only, and an eBay search comes up empty.  The Cable Company has a couple I wasn't sure about them, brand unknown, etc. Any recommendations?

Also, many HDMI cables are labeled eARC, is this something I need to avoid for this application?

Thanks but I've always been disappointed with BJ cables. Not getting into it here but your input is appreciated.

@hbarrel Thanks. See above.

@zx10 Same. I haven't found your DAC comment to be accurate. There was a major change routing to a DAC that went for 6x the cost of the player.
