I am looking for some IC with the best possible shielding I can find to be used in a sensitive area!!!

I'm assuming you're talking RCA connectors here?
The Canare LV-77s is double-shielded and has a stranded center conductor. It should work well in a shielding sense. It's the equivalent of Belden 8281F.
You can get completed cable assemblies in custom lengths using the Canare cable from Blue Jeans Cables. They also use the Canare crimp-type connectors. I have no affiliation with them. The crimp-type connectors bring the shield out all the way to the connector mating plane, so they don't require a pigtail as many solder-type RCAs do. This improves shielding and also makes them suitable for video or S/PDIF usage.

They'll work equally well for audio. But the reverse is not true - audio-only cables may not work properly for video because the characteristic impedance of the cable is not controlled. The LV-77s cables are said to be quite flexible, not like your typical video cable (which has solid-core center conductor). To find out more, see these links:
Hum Rejection in Unbalanced Audio Cables
Digital Cables and Analog Cables--What's the Difference?
The key element for hum rejection in cables is how low the series resistance of the shield is per foot. The LV-77s is a bout the lowest available.
Edit: It looks like Belden makes a more flexible version of the double-shielded cable - Belden 1694F. But Blue Jeans apparently doesn't offer these.
