Which HDMI cable for I2S?


I'm currently using an inexpensive 12 inch long Monoprice cable to connect my dac to a Gustard U18 interface. Honestly, it sounds quite good.

I don't want to buy a pricey cable, but maybe something by DH Labs, etc. 

There are some deals on older cables that meet HDMI 1.3, 1.4, or 2.0 standards. I know these standards are for video. Would all of them work for I2S digital audio? Would the higher standard HDMI 2.1 be better?

Tubulus makes specific I2s cables. I have the Argentus.

We are not playing the same game here, over $1000 for a 2m cable! It better be the best out there for that price. My $25 2m cables will be in the closet hiding in shame. 

From experience with several dcc upsampler the $280 Wireworld 

is a excellent hdmi-IS2 cable and pin match out was spot on.and sounds great.

Did you do any a/b comparisons between a cheap cable like the Monoprice and the DH Labs? 

I did not.  It would be easy enough to do though, I have some entry level HDMI cables in the cable closet.
