Audioquest Cinnamon AES/EBU digital cable

The AES/EBU digital cables are used in the professional audio industry. They are increasingly used on Hi-Fi devices, particularly high-end models, but these connectors are also becoming more widespread on entry and mid-level products. This cable has XLR connectors and an impedance of 110 ohms.

Audioquest's Cinnamon AES/EBU digital cable has silver-plated conductors (1.25%) for great conductivity. Silver is used for plating because high frequencies chiefly transit on the surface of the cable. The connectors are gold-plated. They are cold-welded via an electric current of several thousand amps. The insulator is a hard-cell foam to create air pockets. Air is actually a great insulator. The hard foam provides consistent impedance throughout.

The Cinnamon AES/EBU cable is very well designed for this price range. The materials and build quality make it an essential element. It is also great value for money. Highly recommended!
