Suggestions for a good I2s cable $300-$400 range?

I need an I2s cable to go between my Dinafrips Hermes and Venus II DAC. Some cables I am looking at are:

DH Labs Silversonic 2.1

Purist Audio Design Diamond

Magic HDMI from Harmonic Technology.

I have also heard of the Tubulus Agrentus I2s, but it seems a bit pricey to me @ $539. Is it worth it?

 

Has anyone used any of these or can make another recommendation in my range? I want to stay away from anything that is on the bright side soundwise, but detailed is preferred.

I ended up replacing my Blue Jeans I2S and Audience AU24SX AES/EBU cable with a Tubulus Argentus I2S.

Damn good move. Highly recommended.

Use it between my DDC and Dac; a modded Audio GD DI20-HE and a modded Gustard A22.

Is your terminator analog out connected to a preamplifier, or an integrated amplifier?
