AudioQuest 9.9 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable - USBCINNAMON3M

AudioQuest USBCINNAMON3M 9.9 Feet Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable

AudioQuest Digital Interconnect Cable for High-Performance USB Audio

Bring greater precision to your digital audio setup with the AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Interconnect Cable. Designed with a USB A to B connection, this 3 meter cable is built for connecting compatible audio components with a reliable, high-quality digital interface. Its red finish adds a bold look, while the 9.9-foot length gives you the flexibility to place gear where it works best in your system.

Built for Better Signal Integrity

The AudioQuest Cinnamon USB cable uses solid 1.25% silver conductors to help reduce strand-interaction distortion and improve signal transfer for high-frequency audio applications. Since USB audio signals travel primarily on the surface of the conductor, the silver surface helps support strong performance in a cost-effective design. For listeners who want a more refined connection between their digital source and DAC, this cable is engineered with careful attention to detail.

Carefully Designed Materials and Connections

Foamed-polyethylene insulation helps minimize energy loss and unwanted distortion, supporting a cleaner audio signal from source to playback. Precision gold-plated plugs and carefully chosen soldering materials are used to create a dependable, low-distortion connection at both ends. Whether you're upgrading a home audio system or replacing a standard USB cable, the AudioQuest Cinnamon digital interconnect cable offers a thoughtful blend of construction, performance, and everyday usability.

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
