AudioQuest - Cinnamon - Digital Coax Cable - .75 Meter

How much this cable will make in YOUR system, only you can determine. Im using this on a pretty high-end system and the positive results were immediate and substantial.

Another excellent product from audioquest, my whole system has gone from wireworld, cardas, and/or Kimber to all audioquest. While the other stuff is okay all of the audioquest stuff especially the silver plated stuff makes a noticable difference, Im not saying some huge difference but there is something to it. The improvements Ive noticed going from other good stuff to audioquest is lower noise floor and improved clarity, no cables do not change the tone of your system unless it is doing something intentionally wrong. A cable should just transmit as much of the signal as possible not alter it, I think this is where audioquest has it right, solid copper that is well shielded and really good connectors. It seems audioquest makes those things a priority instead of fancy braids and geometries and buzz words like OCC copper. I do prefer audioquests silver plated stuff but there digital cables get to expensive to quickly with silver plating but Im on the look out for a used carbon coaxial cable but for now the cinnamon will have to do lol. I have audioquest rocket 33 speaker cables, diamondback, black mamba ll, and Sydney RCAs that are upgrades from red rivers and golden gates, I also have some power cables nrg-2 (x2) and nrg-x (x2) and this coaxial cable so I have heard a good amount of there lower to mid level stuff and coming from more expensive stuff from other brands I can only highly recommend audioquest stuff. Hope this helps some who are trying to sift through conflicting info out there on cables, the thing to keep in mind is the only differences you can expect are slight improvement in noise floor and clarity, do not expect to accentuate the mid range or bass because its not going to happen anywhere but in your head. One more thing, your speakers and components are more important than spending on cables so get that all sorted first and then start upgrading your cables, if you are having an issue and need a cable to be shielded just upgrade that one cable until you have the rest of your components and speakers sorted.

I have a very good reason for giving this cable a bad review. For one thing its too short, but I dont doubt that it is an upgrade from other cables. Right now I would highly advise checking out one of the greatest available deals on cables that Ive personally seen. That would be the Audioquest Silver Extreme available only from HCM Audio, sold on Amazon, and the HCM website. Also look up the discussions on digital coax cables having better performance if they are at least 1.5m. I have replaced my Forest Digital Coax with the Silver Extreme and it was a nice improvement in clarity and soundstage. This improvement was smaller than the difference these cables make as analog interconnects of course.

Nice improvement over the Monster digital coax it replaced. Im very pleased.

thanks.

Very good build quality. I cant compare it to any cheaper version coax, I dont have cheap anything in my gear but it matches or accedes the quality of more expensive RCA cables I had used prior to this.

Really well made....I would like to try there speaker cables

I have been using a $10 cable...until now, with my Bluesound Node streamer. Those cables aint bad, but they can only go so far. This is my first premium cable and yes, cables matter. Something I learnt. It was worth it.

I got the Bluesound node for streaming. I used Bluesound DAC but I was told I could use DAC of my McIntosh CD player, so I got this Coaxial digital cable and the sound was prenominal!

I should know by now that every time I buy one of the nicer audioquest cables that it will make a noticeable difference in my system. So it is here... I went from a Forest to a Cinnamon, and sure enough the cinnamon is clearly, noticeably better. Differences between cables are never night & day but if you have a quality system and care about subtle improvements, you’ll get it here. So much for those who say it’s just ones and zeroes so you can’t hear differences between usb cables. Try it yourself and you tell me. I also bought a cinnamon digital coax cable and found the same thing - noticeably better sound. No idea why, but it just is better.
