The HDMI I2S/AV Cable Flagship Series defined the highest class of modern pure silver sounds with distinct beautiful sound. Flagship HDMI I2S/AV cable series is based on True Silver Series I2S/AV Cable where it is upgraded from single solid core of 24awg OCC Silver wire to 7 solid cores of (24GA+26GA+28GA+29GA+29GA+32GA+32A) of 5N OCC silver wires. Similarly, it has a sweet, delicate, powerful, fast dynamics sound and it also has a stronger tone, warmer with richer full body organic sound. The overall presentation is much better than True Silver series HDMI cable.

Both the Flagship series HDMI I2S and True Silver series using same 5N OCC Silver wires, and both has the same pure silver sound characteristics. The Flagship series has a slightly stronger tone, slightly better bass, slightly more refine and slightly fuller body sounds than True Silver Series because it uses more solid silver cores. We believe that the Flagship series HDMI I2S/AV cable should be the ultimate design of HDMI I2S cable in the current market.

My Humble Comments: Xtreme series HDMI I2S and True Silver series HDMI I2S cables should be sufficient and good enough for most of the audiophile system. Flagship series is specially designed for top high-end system, for audiophiles with top end system or for those who demand the best available HDMI I2S cable. This Flagship series HDMI I2S cable will be the Top series of our Audiolund HDMI I2S cables.

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 Ultimate Silver Series performs exceptionally well, well beyond expectations. 

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. It could support the highest quality up to 4K of video resolution (movies). This HDMI AV 2.0 cable is not supported 8K resolution becasue 8K resolution will require 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:

Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require long time to run-in.  OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to burn-in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours. Flagship series will need to run in more hours.
