AudioQuest 16.4 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable - USBCINNAMON5M

AudioQuest USBCINNAMON5M 16.4 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable

High-Performance USB Audio Connection
The AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable is designed for listeners who want more from their digital audio setup. Built with a USB A to B connection, this 5 meter cable offers a dependable link between compatible audio components and a USB-enabled digital-to-analog converter. For home audio systems that need extra reach, the 16.4-foot length provides flexibility without sacrificing the focused performance serious music lovers look for.

Engineered for Cleaner Signal Transfer
At the heart of the AudioQuest Cinnamon USB cable are solid 1.25% silver conductors, chosen to help reduce jitter and improve signal transmission for high-frequency USB audio. AudioQuest pairs those conductors with foamed-polyethylene insulation, a design that helps minimize energy loss and unwanted distortion. Together, these materials are built to support more accurate digital audio performance from source to playback.

Thoughtful Construction for Serious Systems
Precision gold-plated plugs complete the design, offering a secure connection and dependable conductivity for your audio setup. The red finish gives the cable a distinctive look, while the overall construction reflects AudioQuest's attention to detail in premium digital audio cables. If you're assembling a home audio system and want a USB cable built with performance in mind, the Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable is a smart choice for compatible components.

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
• Foamed-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 released as distortion. Cinnamon USB uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials
• 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
