Looking for HDMI cable which introducing lowest jitter


Hi,

I am looking for a HDMI cable which has potentially the lowest jitter for audio signal.  I am playing SACD through HDMI output of Oppo 103D to a receiver.  

Any recommendation based asked on your experience or the measurements result?  Any external link will be very helpful.

thank you

@davidhe19adio I use a brand called a FIBRR which converts the audio/video signal to optical and then back again between an Oppo-205 and amplifier. I user this due to the distance between the two (10m) and with power cable close or over it. A caveat is that the signal is one way (ie no ARC) but I use it only for music, it produces a clean sound for a low/modest price. I have no doubt that there may be better higher priced and spec'd cables. I use an all copper/silver ended amp to TV (ARC) enabled 1.5m HDMI cable for short runs.

I would recommend the Wireworld silver cable or the silver plated copper if you are on a budget.

I have enjoyed a PS Audio DirectStream DAC & Memory Player and a few weeks ago decided to replace the stock cable provided by PS Audio with a Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI cable and immediately enjoyed "more musical" results.  I can't explain the difference, but it does now sound "smoother", with acoustic sounds (piano, violin, voices, etc.) sounding a bit more "natural".

I have a good friend who works for NASA and tells me that the electrons travel on the outside of surface of a wire.  Silver does have slightly better conductivity, compared with oxygen-free copper.  So if you go with a "silver plated" or "silver clad" cable, to make sure it's high quality.  All my cabling is Wireworld Silver Starlight, I find it to be great performance at their price points.  I do suspect that their solid silver cabling might be better, but it's nearly triple the price of the silver clad.

Thank you for your suggestions.  I will look into Wireworld brand.  I looked at their websites and technology appears to be rational.  

Thank you very much!
