{"product_id":"audioquest-cinnamon-digital-koax-kabel","title":"AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Coax Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Coax is a coaxial S\/PDIF digital cable with a solid conductor carrying 1.25 percent silver and full shielding – the mid-range tier of the coax line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Cinnamon?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDigital signals run so fast that they travel mainly along the conductor's surface. That's exactly where the Cinnamon comes in: 1.25 percent silver on a solid conductor, plus a nitrogen-injected Hard-Cell Foam dielectric that keeps the distance to the shield constant. The shielding provides full coverage, made of foil and silver-plated braid, and the RCA connectors are cold-welded and gold-plated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore order in the detail. Attacks become more precise, the space between instruments feels tidier, and complex passages stay legible instead of blurring into a mush. None of this jumps out at you – it's more noticeable when you switch back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Cinnamon suited for – and who isn't it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain talk: if your converter is a solid all-rounder, the Forest already gets out of it what's in it. As soon as a higher-class device sits at the other end – a good standalone converter, a decent transport – the step up to the Cinnamon pays off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tier with the best ratio of effort to effect in this line.

The solid conductor now carries 1.25 percent silver instead of 0.5, which benefits the surface at very high frequencies. And the shielding provides full coverage, using foil and silver-plated braid instead of tinned. The dielectric stays the proven Hard-Cell Foam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the Noise-Dissipation System good for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt keeps high-frequency noise away from your devices' ground. A shield catches interference, but passes it on to ground, where it can modulate the reference voltage. The system's metal layer converts part of this energy into heat before it reaches the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre differences even audible with digital cables?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot always, but more often than skeptics assume. The bits arrive; the question is their timing. Converters with a weak input stage react clearly to jitter, very well-buffered ones barely at all. That's why we ask first which converter you have before recommending a tier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Cinnamon Coax from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause with us, you get an honest assessment, not sales rhetoric.
