Recommendations for HDMI cables specifically for audio quality


I want to replace the analogue cables from my OPPO Blu ray 203 to a Denon AVC X8500 with an HDMI cable and improve or equal the SQ. Suggestions would be welcome. I have checked previous posts and most of them are a few years old now and an update may be required Please and Thank you

Have you actually compared these cables side by side in your own system? I would not take the word of the manufacturer on statements like this.

Anyways, I’m happy with my cables. HDMI cables is not the only cable I have tested with, so I don’t feel any need to go out and chase this Mapleshade invention.

I have owned all these HDMI cables I listed, plus many many others, and all 3 versions of the Vivlink, and compared them all in my system and especially on my ISF calibrated OLED tv’s, in a totally obsessive OCD manner.

I also have a custom Oppo blu-ray transport with LPS power supply, and main board clock upgrades, with the clock itself powered by its own separate super regulated power supply (each upgrade which improves video quality and digital spdif output quality).

So don’t bother implying I am just going by the statements of manufacturer’s. I speak from experience.

But you seem to have made up your mind on this, your loss.

Thank you for the Wireworld follow up. I own both Silver Starlight 5.2 and Silver Starlight 7 HDMI cables.

 

Happy Listening!

An update. The Silver Starlight 7 is my new Reference over the 5.2 by a small margin.

 

Happy Listening!
