USB Cables

The AudioQuest Cinnamon is a popular mid-range USB cable from the brand's "Indulgence Series." It is positioned above the entry-level Forest and below the Carbon model, designed specifically for high-fidelity digital audio rather than just standard data transfer.

The core philosophy behind the cable is that digital audio is sensitive to timing errors (jitter) and interference, which can affect the "naturalness" of the sound even if the data itself remains intact.

Cable Length 0.75 m = 2ft 6in 1.5 m = 4ft 11in 3 m = 9ft 10in 5 m = 16ft 5in

Informations

Cinnamon USB features high-purity 1.25% Silver conductors and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.

Key Technical Specifications

Conductors: Solid 1.25% Silver-Plated Long-Grain Copper (LGC). The silver plating is used because high-frequency digital signals travel primarily on the surface of the conductor. This provides near-silver performance at a lower cost.
Geometry: Solid-core conductors. Unlike stranded cables, solid conductors prevent "strand-interaction," which AudioQuest cites as a major source of distortion.
Insulation: Hard-Cell Foam (HCF). This nitrogen-injected material creates air pockets. Since air absorbs almost no energy, it minimizes "dielectric involvement," keeping the signal more focused.
Noise Dissipation: Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). This "shields the shield," preventing Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from contaminating the equipment's ground plane.
Directionality: All AudioQuest digital cables are controlled for directionality. The metal is drawn in a specific direction, and the cable is marked with arrows to indicate the optimal signal flow to minimize noise.
