49. True Silver Series ~ HDMI I2S/IIS/AV Cable (OCC Silver)

Designed and handcrafted with multiple combinations of 5N OCC silver wire, carefully fine-tuned to achieve highest sound quality and minimize signal transmission loss.

* Please provide the I2S pinouts of your equipment and direction of cable. For HDMI AV, it will be Standard HDMI Pinout for general Audio video. *

** HDMI plug is relatively weak and fragile due to its 19-pins PCA, please be careful when plug-in. Audiolund I2S cable is thick and heavy too. So, may require cable support or wooden block below HDMI plug to support the weight. Highly recommended to use with cable support for best sound.  **

HDMI Plug Orientations: 

Please provide the orientation of HDMI plugs connected to equipment, so that the HDMI plug could be plugged in without twisting.

Audiolund HDMI I2S/IIS/AV Cable ~ True Silver Series
– Use 5N OCC silver cables made in Europe, carefully shielded one by one, twisted and then soldered
– Use 24awg 5N OCC silver wire in in all the various pins, DATA+/-, BCL+/-, LRCK+/-, MLCK+/-, SCL and SDA
– Built with audiophile grade solder, carefully fine-tuned and added pin connections for all grounding too
– Use various types and multiple layers of shielding materials for shielding to reduce noise and RFI/EMI interference
– With unique damping design, use various types of anti-vibration/damping materials to suppress vibration and isolation
– 1.0m standard length with other length options

The HDMI I2S Cable True Silver Series define the new class for pure silver with distinct silky beautiful sound. It is specially built with imported 5N OCC silver wires on all major key pinouts. True Silver Series I2S Cable has a sweet, delicate, powerful, fast dynamics sound and it also has a stronger tone, warmer with richer full body texture sound. The True Silver Series set a new standard for another category of the pure silver modern sound.

I²S (Inter-IC Sound), is an electrical serial bus interface standard used for connecting digital audio devices together. It is used to communicate PCM audio data between integrated circuits in an electronic device. The I²S bus separates clock and serial data signals, resulting in simpler receivers than those required for asynchronous communications systems that need to recover the clock from the data stream, thus result in much better details and excellent sound quality. I2S is better than S/PDIF or AES/EBU (AES3) because it separates the clock and the data onto separate signals.

The I2S consists of many lines: Bit clock line “continuous serial clock (SCK)”, “bit clock (BCLK)”. Word clock line “word select (WS)”, “left-right clock (LRCLK)”, multiplexed data line “serial data (SD)”, but can be called SDATA, SDIN, SDOUT, DACDAT, ADCDAT, etc. Master clock (typically 256 x LRCLK)

There is NO STANDFRD defined for the I2S pins configurations. Therefore, in order to ensure that I2S cable to function properly, would need to get the I2S layouts from audio equipment manufactures.

A-Definition vs B-Definition:

HDMI I2S A Definition: Pink Faun, Wyred4Sound, Audiobyte, Wadia, Rockna, SMSL, LKS, Gustard, JAVS, Singxer

HDMI I2S B Definition: Sonore, PS Audio, Mola Mola, M2 Tech, Aune, Holo Audio, Empirical Audio, K&K Audio, Channel Islands Audio, Musica Pristina, Stahl~Tek, Matrix, DiDiT, HiFime, X-Sabre, Soundaware, Audio-gd, Denafrips, Jay’s Audio

I2S cable will work well, if I2S source to I2S playback device, provided they both adhere to the same signal configuration. So, it would be better you know the pin configuration of your CD/Transport/Streamer, as well as your DAC. If you match signal configuration correctly, the I2S Cable True Silver Series performs exceptionally well, well beyond expectations. This I2S Cable True Silver Series should be the only one built with 5N OCC Silver cables, so far that you could find in current audiophile markets.

Note: Generally, HDMI I2S performs better than RJ45 I2S. If the I2S cable is not function properly in your system, it may due to wrong I2S pin layout. Customer could request for a full refund.

HDMI AV (HDMI 2.0):

Noted that if you want to use this HDMI cable for your Standard AV application, it will be built as per Standard HDMI Pinout for general Audio video, Noted that this HDMI AV support HDMI 2.0/1.4/1.3 only.
