AudioQuest - Cinnamon - Digital Coax Cable - .75 Meter

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

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.

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

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.

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.

For all those who think cables wont make any difference, I wish it was so, so I dont have to spend a lot of money on them. But, they do. Bigtime. On a audiophile system, anyways. Swapped Mediabridge Ultra with AQ Cinnamon coax, from Gustard U12 XMOS to Teac UD-501 (than Colorado XLRs) to Teac HA-501, and voila: Brand new sound, and I will elaborate: Bass is deeper, more controlled, mids are silkier, highs lost the hiss and nasal harshnes when Gloria goes for rough r, big difference.

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.

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