Looking for an HDMI cable


I am looking for an HDMI cable to go between my Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK3 and my Audio Mirror Tubadour 3 DAC. A 1M cable with price up to $300. Thanks.

@soix Thanks! I own the DH LABS Silver Sonic AES cable.  This is probably one I should try.  I have contacted them. The price is right, just need to figure out the length as I am repositioning  components in my system.  

I remain open for other suggestions.

If you can make the 0.5m length work — that’s the shortest they seem to offer for this cable — then do that.  i2S was initially designed to make connections internally within a component and so wasn’t designed for distance, so that’s the reason to keep length as short as possible.  Some “experts” say optimally you want it to be a foot or less, but that’s not always practically feasible.  Just FYI. 

The Mapleshade Vivlink 3+ cable, I think its price is $220. Endgame HDMI cable, so far above other HDMI cables its not funny. 2m length only because that’s what sounds best.

@agisthos That’s a bold statement.  What other HDMI cables have you compared the Vivlink to?  Also, a 2m cable would be suboptimal for an i2S connection as shorter is absolutely better so not sure where you got your info from.
