HDMI cable to utilize I2s Connection from LAIV uddc to Denafrips Terminator 2


So I’ve decided to test out the LAIV UDDC. I’m doing this to utilize the I2s connection route. Can folks who do this recommend a proper HDMI cable for the connection? Would a standard HDMI cable be sufficient to test the sonic benefits?

 

Thanks for your insights.

@hbarrel- thanks for that. At some point, I may try to directly connect the ET3 to the DAC without the DDC just to hear the difference. 

FWIW Revelation Audio Labs makes custom HDMI cables starting at .65 meters. He can match your equipment pin out configuration, he did it for me. 

I'd never use or purchase any I2S capable component without pin configurable switch. Certainly you can have custom I2S cable manufactured, but that cable will be obsolete with the next I2S component, and things continue to move at a relatively fast rate in streaming audio. Inexcusable that any manufacturer still offering product without pin configurable ability.

Beware of Revelation Audio Labs.  Brad makes great cables but has a history of playing games with shipping delays and not responding to communication.  I have been waiting 8 months for a USB cable that didn’t work and he keeps promising it will ship next week and never does…unacceptable bizarre behavior for a seller.
