AudioQuest Cinnamon Series 1.5 Meter iPod USB Digital Interconnect, Model CINNAMONIPOD1POINT5M
The iPod's® success has had an incredible effect on how we listen to and
live with our music. Now the world has shifted to the iPod/iPhone/iPad®
becoming a main source component for many. Because of this, AudioQuest has taken
everything we've learned about digital interconnects and applied the same technology
to our line of made for iPod USB digital interconnects. Listen and hear for
yourself!
Features:
- Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.
Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications,
like USB audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost
exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity
silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but
priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective
way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables
- Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect
circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss).
Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. Solid
High-Density Polyethylene Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry
while minimizing insulation-induced phase distortion
- Terminations
Precision gold-plated plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder.
Through choice of flux and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make
a low-distortion connection. The difference you hear between solders is a
result of connection quality. AQ solder does not have a high silver content
because the more silver there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make
a good connection
- Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition For Audio Devices
USB (Universal Serial BUS) was established by a stalwart group of companies
such as Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft (just to name a few) in order
to give the personal computing world a truly universal standard and means
to connect devices such as hard drives, printers, cameras, and, more importantly
to us, audio components. Included in the original description are protocols
for the pristine transfer of audio over USB. Great care and sensitivity went
into this. Consequently, a computer connected to a USB-enabled digital-to-analog
converter can outperform the best compact disc players available today. AudioQuest
is committed to contributing products that honor USB's ability to deliver
state-of-the-art performance on this new and wonderful frontier
