AudioQuest Cinnamon USB Lightning

AudioQuest Cinnamon USB Lightning

AudioQuest offers a specially designed cable for every application, whatever way you want to connect your music and your playback devices. Our extensive line of USB cables includes four models with an Apple® Lightning™ connector (as used on all new iOS devices). Whether you want to connect your mobile device to a car stereo with USB input or stream your music to your home entertainment system, you always need a high-quality cable with low distortion if you want full, involving and three-dimensional sound. Thin and flat may be what you want your iPhone or iPad® to look like, but it's not the way you want to hear your music.

SOLID 1.25% SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications, like USB audio. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.

HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. “Hard” foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the entire length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.

METAL-LOW NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shielding is easy. Preventing captured RF interference from modulating equipment ground potential requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents much of the captured RFI from reaching the equipment ground potential.
