AudioQuest Digital Coax Cinnamon
AudioQuest digital coaxial cable from the Cinnamon range, designed to connect a digital source to a converter or a DAC amplifier.
Description
The Digital Coax Cinnamon is a digital coaxial cable from AudioQuest, designed to connect a digital source, CD player, transport, network player or digital tuner, to a converter, an amplifier with a built-in DAC, or any other device fitted with a coaxial S/PDIF input.
According to AudioQuest, this cable has been designed to minimise distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. The issue here is not transfer speed in the computing sense, but the preservation of the timing relationships within the digital stream being transmitted. It is indeed this timing precision that determines the quality of reconstruction of the analogue waveform delivered at the converter's output.
This type of connection is aimed at enthusiasts wishing to optimise the digital link between a source and a DAC or digital amplifier, within a hi-fi system where the quality of the signal transmitted upstream of the analogue conversion is considered important by the listener.
What to check before buying used
Check the condition of the RCA connectors at both ends: a scratched gold plating or a loose ring can introduce micro-dropouts in the S/PDIF stream. The shielding and the outer jacket deserve close inspection along the entire length, particularly at bend points near the plugs, where internal strands can break without this being visible from the outside. A continuity test remains the only reliable way to confirm the absence of an internal break in this type of coaxial cable.
