just avoid the bargain cables. get a mid-priced cable.

Go to Amazon and check Aurum HDMI.
All sorts of lengths and color choices.

Use these for XITE-1 and GFX.
Havent had any crackling noise issues since going with 2 way HDMIs.

I assume you're talking about the Aurum HDMI wich you mentioned in a earlier post? If so then I'm glad to hear of a specific "tried and true" brand. Battle tested always counts for much.

I hadn't bought my HDMI cable yet because my weird pronlems of SCOPE software loosing communication with the hardware have stopped. I moved my HDMI cable one day not that long ago trying to untangle my Skype Webcam and then weird technical problems started happening shortly after. I had these problems once or twice before in the past and after troubleshooting and repositioning cable/card/etc they stopped shortly after and all was fine again. Because the problems always stop shortly after I always put off buying a new cable :lol: . I like to use my gear until the bottom falls out . I do plan to buy a new HDMI cable soon this time so to avoide a never before long down-time but I wouldn't start using it until my old HDMI cable that came with XITE-1 start having serious problems consistently.

My XITE-1 still has all original components and I have never sent it in for repair (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself). My few problems have primarily been software related such as load-balancing at 96khz, etc wich are generally avoidable when you learn the XITE-1 more, but hardware-wise she's been a pleasure to deal with after my initial motherboard incompatability problems and the infrequent minor cable problem. 7 years of great service from XITE-1 and even a bonus with really good new plugins still coming to the platform :) .

EDITED
