I can relate to this.My Viablue S-900 hdmi,which carries I2S between a U12 and an X12, is 4 meters long.It sounds like a quality cable-only that it is clearly attenuating highs above 8000 or 10000 cps.Resolution is affected(soundstage,etc.) sound has no "edge"-otherwise very similar to the AES3 cable,which seems to be quite good-D110 by DH labs terminated by Mark Tunis.Reading up on the subject of HDMI cables,I was aware only of the need not to surpass 5 meters,but was not aware of the need to keep the cable as short as possible.The trigger was pulled too early,as I was itching to compare the AES3 already in place with the I2S which most claimed to sound better than AES3.
