Audioquest Cinnamon USB A-B Cable

The Audioquest Cinnamon USB A-B Cable is one of the most reliable connections. Thanks to its advanced engineering, it deepens the immersion of your favourite digital music and improves the clarity of the audio. Designed for audio enthusiasts and professionals. This cable makes it easy to ensure that your equipment has optimal performance, thanks to better signal integrity.

Audioquest Cinnamon USB A-B Cable

The Audioquest Cinnamon USB A-B Cable features high purity Solid 0.5% Silver conductors. Plus, a Metal Layer Noise Dissipation system for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise.

Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors

Solid conductors minimise the harmful effects of electrical and magnetic strand to strand interaction. For digital cables, whose signals are persistent, they travel almost exclusively on the conductor’s surface. Increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve noise dissipation further.

Placing the superior metal outside the conductor greatly benefits overall performance. This is a superbly cost effective way to maximise a USB A-B cable.

Metal Layer Noise Dissipation

It’s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. The Forest USB requires AQ’s noise dissipation system (NDS) to prevent captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference. Traditional shield systems absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to the component ground. Modulating and distorting the critical “reference” ground plane, which in turn distorts the signal.

Hard Cell Foam Insulation

Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation in the Forest USB cable ensures critical signal pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is also part of an imperfect circuit. Both wire insulation and circuit board materials absorb energy. They store some of this energy and then release it as distortion.

Hard-cell foam Insulation is similar to the foam-PE Audioquest uses in the more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and nitrogen is injected to create air pockets.

Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy. Therefore, does not release any energy from or into the conductor, the cable can reduce distortion. In addition, the material’s stiffness allows the Forest USB cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s full length. Producing a stable impedance character and further minimising distortion.

 Solid High Density Polyethylene

In fact, any solid stuff close to a conducting part makes a part of that circuit which doesn’t run perfectly. Whether wire insulation or the boards used for circuits. All these absorb energy and some of these losses even result in the distortion. Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation can be used to ensure the geometry of the signal-pair at high-frequency while minimizing the phase distortion effect due to ​‍​‌‍​‍‌insulation.

Features and Benefits

• Solid Silver-Plated Conductors: Let the signal get across effectively, bringing the perfect sound.
• High-Quality Insulation: If the transferred signal still contains many details. Isolate signal smearing and minimise time delay spreading.
• Precision-designed Connectors: Our gold-plated cables are excellent at establishing connections and are also resistant to corrosion.
• Stable Signal Design: The shield in the cable keeps interference at bay. Providing the audio signal with a stable and uninterrupted path.
• Highly Flexible and Hard-wearing: The cable’s robustness makes it perfect for use with all equipment. While its flexibility allows for comfortable usage in any setup.

Summary of the Audioquest Forest USB A-B Cable

By owning a home theatre, a professional recording studio, or upgrading your office’s audio system, the Audioquest Cinnamon USB A-B Cable cable is a versatile and first rate audio/video solution. Its construction has been such that it enables the cable to be compatible with a large variety of USB-equipped devices. Effectively broadening the range of its applications to almost any audio related task.

Gold Plated​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Termination

Superior craftsmanship is used to connect the precision gold plated jacks with an expertly chosen metal solder. AQ solder has been specifically refined by using an appropriate flux together with the choice of metals to achieve one with the lowest-distortion connection.

Different solder products result in varied sound output which basically can be attributed to the differences in solder connection quality. AQ solder has a relatively low silver content since too much silver would have a tendency to impede the ease of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌soldering.
