AudioQuest Cinnamon USB Cable

For those looking to get more excitement from their USB rig, Audioquest Cinnamon USB offerstruly inspiring performance. Built around a core of excellent materialsand top-tier engineering, Cinnamon USB puts the spice back intolistening to music. The secret is in Audioquest’s unyielding commitment to quality. Every aspect of Cinnamon’sconstruction, from the type of connectors used to the direction ofthe conductors has been scrutinized, auditioned, revised and perfectedto create a cable that offers tremendous performance at a veryaffordable price.

“…with the Cinnamon, we found that the sound of our set-upgained smoothness and a sense of authority. Our kit served up asweet-sounding treble, and well-integratedmidrange, while the bass was sure-footed with nice weight to itsdelivery.”– What HiFi?

MetallurgyCinnamon features 1.25% silver plated Long Grain Copper solid-core conductors. Solid core conductors are inherently lower distortion than stranded designs and Cinnamon’s silver plating greatly increases conductivity when compared to unplated conductors. This gives Cinnamon a great boost in both resolution and speed, removing a veil from your USB rig and greatly enhancing speed and snap. Cinnamon opensup the top octaves revealing more air around instruments and digsdeeper into the bass delivering both greater impact and more propellingbass lines. Cinnamon is a directional cable, AQ listens to every primary signal conductor used in Cinnamon to determine proper conductor orientation, this simple test yields a surprising improvement to sonic performance.

Digital Audio over USBThere are significant, audibledifferences between USB cables. We’renot sure how this is possible,since USB is purported to be a purelydigital interface, however, thesonic differences are repeatable andconsistent from system to system. Abetter USB cable makes a betterdigital audio cable, period.

TerminationAll Audioquest Indulgence series USB Cables are terminated by Wave Solder, a very high-precision soldering method originally developed for surface-mount applications in the computer industry. Wave Soldering is fast, efficient and has no human interaction, eliminating all conventional solder problems, creating a strong, reliable and electrically consistent connection. Wave Soldering is just one feature that makes Indulgence Series USB cables a far better choice than conventional USB Cables.
