Warm HDMI cable?

Anyone come across a good HDMI cable on the warm side tonally? On the Cool - Neutral - Warm continuum, my preference is for the latter and in particular I could use a warmer HDMI cable for a run from an Oppo 203 with Oppomod’s HDMI/I2S card to a DirectStream dac. Thanks,
P.S. If you think cabling doesn’t matter or that all HDMI cables sound the same, please pass on.

New Belkin 48Gbps is the best I found. Compared it to Monoprice as well as ridiculously priced AudioQuest and many others.

I didn’t know Oppo’s I2S/HDMI was compatible with PS Audio. Anyway, I liked the Cardas cable. Similar warmth to their analogue line; musical and non-fatiguing.

I’m a big fan of Audioquest Carbon HDMI Cable that I’m using between an LG HDTV and LG Blu Ray. Phenomenal picture quality and the tonality is fine. Accept no substitutes. Audioquest HDMI cables - silver content connectors AND controlled for directionality!
