REFERENCE I2S / HDMI IC

This High End digital multimedia cable is fully suitable for high-rate I2S and HDMI 2.1 data transmission through HDMI interface in a standard pinout.

It supports differential signaling in all existing standards: RS422/485, LVPECL, MECL, LVDS, CML. Exactingly thought-out construction with 23 AWG pure OFC solid core conductors and the advanced 3-layer CAFPE® insulation guarantees the I2S data is precisely transmitted without a single error. The comprehensive triple shielding reduces mutual interference and EM radiation to a minimum level, as well as protects from external EM field influence, especially at high transmission rates. Full UHD 4K/60Hz video is reproduced without chroma subsampling (4:4:4) or noticeable masking issues at lengths up to 5m. Reference I2S/HDMI IC pushes the boundaries of what is possible with these digital formats.

Due to the cable construction complexity and excessive material consumption the initial burn-in period (time during which the best sonic performance is reached) is suggested as 100 hours of uninterrupted music playback at least. We highly recommend playing music of different genres.
