Recommendation for an HDMI cable under $200 for audio only


Need help choosing a decent HDMI cable under $200 to connect my Rivo+ digital transport to my Laiv Harmony DAC via I2S connectors. Thank you.

I will be a bit of a contrarian here; my recent experience with DH Labs' SilverSonic HDMI 2.1 (and their power cables as well) has been comparatively underwhelming.  I've been running blind preference tests between it and a few other HDMI cables, and every listener who has opined on it has ranked it either last or second to last in their preference. Their critiques mention squashed soundstage, harsh & flat treble, and notably recessed mids on my KEF Reference/Parasound Halo stack. My listeners' most consistent picks in your price point have been the AudioQuest Cinnamon.
