Cinnamon Digital Coax Cable
AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music, and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.
Features
SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS FOR IMPROVED ANALOG PERFORMANCE
Solid conductors eliminate inter-strand distortion, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables.
METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
COLD-WELDED, GOLD-PLATED TERMINATIONS
This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Instead of solder, the process employs a high-pressure technique. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal used can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

Well built. Great quality. RCA ends are made of quality materials. Worth every penny. Thanks Audio Quest.

I had originally bought a very popular coaxial cable. The Audioquest Cinammon crushed it. Super Clear, very easy to hear the difference. It took a few hours to open up,but when it did, W O W ! You get what you pay for, go for it if you Love your tunes. 1.5 meters worked for me.

Daha önce de başka ürünlerini denedim, bir kez daha anladım ki Audioquest bu işi biliyor. Streamer ile DAC arasında yine iyi kablolar kullanarak elde ettiğim sesi, orta seviye CD çalarım ile DAC arasında elde edememiştim, aynı fiyatta hatta daha pahalı bazı kablolar denememe rağmen. Amazon Türkiye'de fiyatının daha uygun olduğunu görünce zaten çok arzu ettiğim bu kabloyu satın aldım. Ve kabloyu takıp dinlemeye başladığımda doğru karar verdiğimi hemen anladım. Çok doğal, oldukça dinamik ve detaylı, hiçbir frekans bölgesini abartmayan, çok keyifli bir ses alıyorum. Bu sonuç sistemin genel uyumuyla da doğru orantılı elbette. Teşekkürler Audioquest, teşekkürler Amazon Türkiye 😊

Immediately I discovered that I was missing sound in the 196 range my audio seems a tad bit more dynamic after making the change. Thank you audioquest for excellent cables

I am using this cable to connect a Wiim Pro to a Burson Composer 3X dac. I researched cables both less and more expensive. I do believe there are cheaper options that work as well. I certainly don't feel "ripped off". I have other Audioquest cables and find them to be well constructed and durable. I am streaming Tidal and am very satisfied with the sound.

Como todos los AQ, muy bien construido. En cuanto a sus cualidades, diría que bastante normalito: no vas a obtener especial transparencia, sino más bien un resultado sonoro bastante redondo, por lo que puede ser útil para solucionar algún exceso en frecuencias altas.

Warum ich ein so teures Kabel kaufe? Weil ich gelernt hab das Verkabelung nicht egal ist. Dieses hier dient zur Anbindung von Bluray Player an meinen DAC. Inzwischen steckt mehr als 1000 € in meiner Verkabelung. Schon irre. Aber ich habe Unterschiede ausmachen können. Ob Einbildung oder nicht (ich denke ja das nicht), am Ende klingt meine Anlage (durchweg T+A) mit Verkabelung von Audioquest und Viablue wirklich richtig gut.

I bought this wire to replace the Monoprice 3 feet digital coaxial cable selling on Amazon today for $7.88. After 50 hours of break-in the sonic difference is slight to none. I fully accept that it could be my hearing, but I recommend that users try an inexpensive cable like the Monoprice and if you can get an expensive loaner from a brick-and-mortar seller (remember them?) try one out. I like the Audioquest Cinnamon and intend to stop upgrading this function here. On to some other imaginary improvement!

I have it connected from the digital (rca) output from my sony UBP-X800 blue ray player to my V-90 Musical Fidelity DAC (via digital rca). That way I can play my collection of CD's, SACD's, and DVD-Audio disc's without going thru the additional step of going thru my tv then thru a optical cable and into the dac. This cable does the trick!It's direct to the dad.Hope this helps.Best

AudioCables are a funny things. In general, I'd hypothesize that wider is better. But at some point in HiFi audio, you reach the point of diminishing marginal returns in the audio upgrade products. There is not much in the way of objective data to make a decision about ultra high end audio gear. It's not like you are comparing Hondas va bmws vs porche vs McLarens, where if you know your budget and what you want from a car, and whether you value reliability vs luxury vs acceleration vs handling most, it's pretty straightforward to decide which car is right for you. Sorry, but HiEnd audio is nothing like that.One guy I know has a $100k+ stereo system with speaker cables as thick as my wrist, and interconnects made of pixie dust or something like that and of course swears that he hears the difference between the pixie dust cables than those made of mere copper. His system certainly shakes his house to the rafters. But I leave the debate over the benefits of thousand dollar audio cables between the emperor of audio and his tailor. That gear at that price is out of my league and beyond reason. I just want to hear my music and enjoy the way it sounds.And yet...after 50 or so hours of break-in, I did feel that I heard a richer sound using the AudioQuest Cinamon Digital Coax Cable than using my Amazon Basics digital audio cable. Night and Day different? Certainly not, but perhaps a 10% improvement. Or maybe I've been inhaling too much pixie dust..I guess you just have to try these for yourself and consider them a science project. Maybe you can figure out whether you like them bettter than the radio shack/Amazon Basics digital Coax cable you had before within the return window closes. Or if you miss that window, sell them used on Amazon, eBay or Craigslist. But you will have to get your own - I'm keeping mine.4 stars because for me, 5 stars means near perfection, but for under a hundred, this is a pretty good bet that you will be glad you tried them.Thanks AudioQuest!
