You are transporting sound, not images. There’s no need for high speed/bandwith cables. Any HDMI 1.4 (first to have ARC) or newer will do.

But then you are transporting video. To connect a TV to a Sonos soundbar or Amp my advice stands.

    Spot on, @106rallye, I think we are actually saying the same thing. I completely agree that for the direct connection between the TV and the Sonos soundbar, the standard cable supplied in the box is exactly what you should use.

    My point was specifically about the source side of the chain. Because I use an Nvidia Shield Pro to stream massive 4K Remux files, I found that the connection between the Shield and the TV required a properly certified high-speed cable to prevent any sync issues before the TV even passes the audio down.

    For the final link - connecting the TV to the Sonos system itself - I stick to the recommended cable provided by Sonos, even though I have plenty of spare boutique cables lying around. Keeping the source cable premium and the audio return cable standard is definitely the sweet spot.
