It is 75 ohm coax with teflon dielectric. I believe it is bg 179 (or something like that). It costs about $40 for 4 feet of it. Its very delicate but fairly easy to solder right onto juli@ pins.
Thank you! Sounds like the cable (or something similiar) in the link below. Can you please confirm?
Oh, and did you ground the braided shield or make twisted pairs with the cable?

yes it was rg not bg 179. I used the cable as a coax: soldered the center connector to juli@ pins & grounded the shield to a juli@ pin on the 10 pin connector. I twisted all the shields together and fastened a wire from the twisted bunch of 3 shields to a ground pin on juli@.
Thank you theo.I remade my I2S cable yesterday following your instructions, and it sounds good so far. Overall, it sounds cleaner, more detailed and resolving. However, the presentation also becomes a bit bright and forward, making vocals less enjoyable. I wonder if this is due to the lack of burn in. Does my experience with the RG179 coax sound familiar to you?

Not sure...I was breaking in a new sound card as well as the I2S cables. Give it a few days then pass judgment. But yes it did mellow out eventually.

Thanks, I think it already improved noticeably during the past 24 hours (I left the system on the entire time). By the way, the 30 AWG conductor of the RG179 seems *really* fragile. I used some hot melt glue on my Juli@ to ensure I don't tear the I2S cables off by accident. Ugly, but it works!

why not solder?
Glue on top of solder. I'll post a pic when I have time.
