AudioQuest - Cinnamon - Digital Coax Cable - .75 Meter

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

I have to say that this cable is excellent. I use it to connect from my Rega Apollo Cd player to my Musical Fidelity Dac. I originally had a cheapo cable. Once I added the Cinnamon....it was like ....wow. What an amazing difference in the sound. Great Job and affordable.

This cable is stupendous. All cables are not created equally and once you accept that in your heart, you will know amazing audio in your home. Taking over connector duties from my CD player to receiver from the popular Monoprice cable before it this Audioquest cable made the Monoprice cable sound like the cheap RCA cables that come free with gear.

This Audioquest cable presents with a lower quality soundstage, less accurate timing and slightly less precise imaging than the $12 C2G 29114 Velocity S/PDIF Digital Audio Coax Cable, Blue (3 Feet, 0.91 Meters - a Verified Purchase if you follow my reviews) that I also purchased from Amazon.

Great cable for the money. Sounds great! AudioQuest rules.

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.

thanks.

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.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

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.
