AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Coax Cable

AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Speed is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears.
  • Solid 1.255% silver conductors
  • Hard-cell foam insulation
  • 100% shield coverage (foil + silver braid)

AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are constructed with high-precision components to minimize distortion across a wide bandwidth. The transmission of digital data is critical in many contexts, such as rapidly transferring large files or supplying HD video. In audio applications, the speed of this transmission is crucial for accurately reconstructing the analog waveform that delivers sound to our ears. Jitter damage to the data package limits the sound quality, making it shallow and flat rather than vibrant and clear. The cable utilizes solid 1.25% silver conductors for high-frequency applications, Hard-Cell Foam insulation for consistent characteristics, and a metal-layer Noise-Dissipation System to reduce RFI interference.

SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS FOR IMPROVED ANALOG PERFORMANCE
Solid conductors eliminate inter-strand distortion, one of the biggest sources of distortion in cables.
METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
FOIL + SILVER-PLATED BRAID SHIELD


COLD-WELDED, GOLD-PLATED TERMINATIONS
This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, a common distortion source. Instead of solder, the process employs a high-pressure technique. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal used can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.
