AudioQuest 5 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable - USBCINNAMON1POINT5M

AudioQuest USBCINNAMON1POINT5M 5 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable

Cleaner Digital Audio Connections
The AudioQuest Cinnamon digital interconnect cable is designed for listeners who want more from their USB audio setup. With a USB A to B connection, this USB audio cable is built to link compatible digital components with reliable performance. Its 1.5 meter length, or 5 feet, offers practical flexibility for home audio systems, desktop setups and component placements where a shorter connection just won’t do. The distinctive red finish also gives the cable a clean, easy-to-identify look in any system.

Designed for High-Quality Signal Transfer
AudioQuest builds the Cinnamon USB cable with solid 1.25% silver conductors to support strong signal integrity and help reduce jitter. Because USB audio operates at very high frequencies, the use of silver on the conductor surface is intended to support excellent performance while keeping the cable in a more accessible category than a pure silver design. For anyone upgrading a digital audio chain, this interconnect offers a thoughtful blend of advanced materials and practical everyday usability.

Reduced Loss For Better Listening
This AudioQuest digital cable also uses foamed-polyethylene insulation, a material chosen to help minimize energy absorption and distortion. By reducing the unwanted effects that can come from cable materials, the design supports a more focused connection between your audio components. Precision gold-plated plugs complete the build, offering stable contact and corrosion resistance for dependable use. If you are putting together a serious USB audio system, the AudioQuest Cinnamon USB cable is a smart addition to your setup.

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
