As an audiophile reviewer at The Audio Tailor, I've had the pleasure of experiencing many digital interconnects, but this AudioQuest Cinnamon USB 2.0 B to C Cable review reveals why this particular model stands out in the crowded USB cable market. With its innovative design and impressive technical specifications, it's clear why many audio enthusiasts are making the switch to this superior digital link.
Design and Build Quality
The Cinnamon USB cable showcases AudioQuest's commitment to excellence through its meticulous construction. The semi-solid concentric conductors, featuring 1.25% silver content, represent a brilliant engineering compromise - delivering performance approaching that of solid silver cables while maintaining a more accessible price point.
The newly developed strain-relief system between the USB cable and plug demonstrates thoughtful engineering, ensuring longevity through countless connection cycles. It's this attention to detail that sets AudioQuest apart from the competition.
Technical Excellence
The cable's Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) insulation technology is particularly noteworthy. This nitrogen-injected, air-pocket design maintains critical signal-pair geometry while minimising energy absorption and release - crucial factors in maintaining signal integrity.
One of the most impressive features is the controlled RF noise directionality. By carefully managing how RF interference interacts with the conductors, AudioQuest has created a notably clean signal path that audiophiles will appreciate.
