Turn Up the Sharpness, Focus, and Articulation of Your S/PDIF Digital Connection
Digital coaxial cables carry high-frequency S/PDIF data streams where timing precision and impedance stability are everything. Standard coaxial cables with stranded copper or unstable insulation often cause high levels of timing errors (jitter) and internal signal reflections, degrading soundstage depth and introducing digital glare. The AudioQuest Cinnamon Coax digital cable is engineered specifically to eliminate these bottlenecks, bringing your digital audio into razor-sharp focus.
Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors: Leveraging the Skin Effect
Because high-frequency digital signals travel almost exclusively on the outer surface of a conductor (the "Skin Effect"), Cinnamon Coax applies a heavy 1.25% pure silver layer over solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors. Placing the noble metal precisely where the high-speed signal travels yields transmission efficiency that approaches solid silver lines. The sonic result is immediate: sharper image focus, tighter low-end definition, and a transparent soundstage free of digital coloration.
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation & Silver-Plated Shielding
For a digital coaxial cable, maintaining a constant characteristic impedance (75 ohms) along its entire length is crucial to preventing signal reflections. Cinnamon Coax utilizes Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation. The nitrogen creates air pockets that absorb virtually no energy, preventing dielectric energy storage and release. To protect delicate high-frequency waveforms, Cinnamon upgrades its shielding layer to a Foil + Silver-Plated Braid, providing superior shielding performance over standard tinned braids.
Directional RF Draining & Solderless Cold-Welded Terminations
To combat airborne Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI) from modern wireless networks, Cinnamon Coax combines a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System with Directional RF Draining. Unwanted RF noise is trapped, reflected, and drained away from sensitive receiving circuitry. Finally, termination is executed via AudioQuest's proprietary Cold-Welded process, pressing the stamped gold-plated connector directly onto the conductor under high pressure without heat or solder, preserving raw dynamic impact and pristine micro-details.
