Audiolund HDMI I2S/IIS/AV Cable ~ Xtreme Silver Series
– Use 20GA Duelund copper wires mixed with 42*36GA (0.12mm) tinny cores of 5N OCC silver wires 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 Xtreme Silver Series is built using similar methods to Flagship Series I2S Cable where it is built with 20GA Duelund tinned copper wires mixed with 42*0.12mm (42*36GA) tiny cores of 5N OCC silver wires. The sound is remarkably similar to Flagship series, where the Flagship series HDMI I2S/AV cable is with slightly stronger tone for OCC pure silver organic sounds, and the Xtreme Silver HDMI I2S cable is emphasized slightly more for the Duelund copper musicality sound. Both series sound good to me with both have the pure silver organic sounds of sweet, delicate, powerful, fast dynamics sounds and both also have the musicality, warmer and natural sounds of Duelund copper.
My Humble Comments: If you like both the Western Electric sounds and the Pure Silver sounds equally, mostly for musicality and tonality, you can select either the Xtreme Silver series HDMI I2S cable or the Flagship series HDMI I2S cable. If you prefer the sound characteristics towards the Duelund copper sounds with musicality, warmer and natural copper cable’s sounds, the Xtreme Silver series HDMI I2S cable must be in your top priority list. This HDMI I2S Cable Xtreme Silver Series, together with Ultimate Silver series HDMI I2S cable and Flagship series HDMI I2S cables are my personal top 3 favorite choices.
I2S pinouts
Please provide the I2S pinouts of your equipment and direction of cable. There are generally 2 definitions, A and B. Alternatively. please provide your equipment brand names, such streamer, Transport, DDC and DAC etc. and I could find it online.
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, both adhere to the same signal configuration. So, it would be better if 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.
Note: Generally, HDMI I2S performs better than RJ45 I2S. If the I2S cable does not function properly in your system, it may be due to the wrong I2S pin layout. Customer could request a full refund.
HDMI AV (HDMI 2.0):
For standard AV applications, it will be built as per standard HDMI Pinouts for general audio video. Noted that this HDMI AV supports HDMI 2.0/1.4/1.3 only. It could support the highest quality up to 4K of video resolution, with full 18Gbps bandwidth from the HDMI 2.0b specification. This HDMI AV 2.0 cable is not supported 8K resolution becasue 8K resolution will require a HDMI 2.1 plug.
HDMI Plug Orientations:
Please provide the orientation of HDMI plugs connected to equipment, so that the HDMI plug could be plugged in without twisting.
Example:
** 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, it may require cable support or wooden block below HDMI plug to support the weight. Highly recommended to use with cable support. **
1) Default: Red copper + Black Strip with Black Backgrounds
2) Red copper + Red Strip with Black Background
Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require a long time to run in. OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to run in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours.
