Great improvement to the sound quality over a cheaper USB cable

Better than I initially thought ....

I couldn't tell much difference between these and cheaper cables UNTIL I let them run 40+ hours each. Then I could hear subtle, but noticeable, differences and I think you will be pleased with the AQ Cinnamon cable.

Order arrived quickly as usual with Crutchfield. Cable is perfect length, and outer jacket seems pretty durable. Works and sounds good, although I didn't compare to the USB cable that came with my preamp/DAC.

Very well built cable

. Connected my music server (with a high-quality USB card) and SMSL SU-09 DAC. I think it is better than regular cable at least I hear the sound very clean and bright comparing to the original cable.

Very nice, well built usb cable. I did hear a difference between the generic usb cable and this one. Cleaner sound, more imaging.

AudioQuest Cinnamon

A very well-built cable. It is fairly stiff, but with a bit of planning, the stiffness didn't impact the cable routing. I did not upgrade from anything, so I have no comparison. The cable is used for the connection between my computer and Sony UDA-1/B DAC.

Audio Quest Forest vs Audio Quest Cinnamon

This is a review comparing Audio Quest Forest and Audio Quest Cinnamon USB connectors. I first bought the Audio Quest Forest and played it every day for two months. The Forest sounded wonderful with superior high fidelity and detail. However the first five seconds that and I played the Cinnamon I was shocked. Immediately I found a night and day difference. My streaming with Tidal Masterpiece went from wonderful detailed high fidelity much better than CD quality to real life sound. I am a union percussionist playing live music since 1964 so I know what a real instrument sounds like in my own recording studio.The Cinnamon made it real. My Klipsch La Scallas have never sounded this good. Ever.During the past 30 years that I have owned and played my speakers they never sounded this real from any source. I am still shocked at there new performance. The price difference is very small between the two products but the sound difference is very big. Especially if you don't do what I did and buy them both. Ultimately you decide which one is best for you. Do you want wonderful detailed Hi fidelity? Or do you want to make it real?

Nice clean sound from my laptop to my Dac in my Marantz CD player. 192/32 sounds great over this cable. I have burned many reel to reel tapes on a tascam recorder and then burned the cds to my laptop. The sound is full and dynamic through this usb cable. Enjoy it when you buy it.

They work.

After having cut out issues with my Belkin USB AB wire (I guess it really was built for audio), I purchased the AudioQuest Cinnamon USB hoping it would be the fix. So far so good.

It would be most helpful if I could tell you how this compares to the same cable in green or carbon-alas, I can't help you there. I do want to mention that some reviewers complain about the stiffness of the cable. I don't find this to be problematic. It doesn't pull either end out, and it snakes around the side and back of my desk connecting my computer to my DAC without any trouble. Compared to the green cable rca version, it is only slightly stiffer.

Audio Processing

Smooth crystal clear highs, with deep detailed bottom end. Really opened up the sound stage. This thing wasn't cheap but we always get what we pay for, and considering the difference it made in my audio it was more than worth it.

Good the cable...but stiff

I like and trust AudioQuest cables. - Work and sound good, although moderate price. I have a pair of Forrest (shorter length). I can't tell difference in sound between the two. As noted in reviews, this cord is rather stiff which makes it less user friendly...my application running from Amp to couch - doesn't effect me. But might cause some issues with some...The green Forrest is much more flexible.

Crutchfield is the best place to buy I love it., this type of audio quest cable is ok but not the best on music on the computer / the lower end model is a little better if you ask me. unable to notice the difference between forest vs cinnamon cable, thanks to Crutchfield returns!! ps save your money and get the audio quest forest one.

Looses connection at the slightest touch. Thin and non flexible. My old cheap cord out performs it. Wife tossed the box, so now I am stuck with this USB cable.

This Cable Made a Difference

How important are cables to the quality of sound? Very! Not snake oil at all, as it turns out. Learned that lesson sometime back with analog cables. But I was still skeptical of how much difference a digital USB cable could make and was poised to return it in a heartbeat if I didn't hear an appreciable difference. (I bought the shortest Cinnamon USB cable I could to replace the cable that came with my NAD 1050-D [DAC], which I had been listening to for 3 months.) I'm pleased to say that I absolutely could tell the difference when I swapped them out. Since then I bought another one for my Audioengine D1 DAC which came with a better USB cable than what came with the NAD, and I could still hear the difference!

AQ Cinnamon USB 1.5M

I bought this cable to upgrade from the PYST cable. It connects my Macbook to the Gungnir DAC. Occasionally, during normal playing of music (and no messing around with the gear) the DAC will drop out and the music will play over the computer speakers. Then it reverses, back to the DAC. I was advised this event is usually caused by a defective USB cable. I do not experience it with the old PYST USB cable. I think the AQ cables are decent quality, but I have some Forest cables and they are more flexible and work fine. Not sure the upgrade to the higher silver content makes much of a difference. This cinnamon cable is much stiffer than my Forest cables. When the DAC is working, the SQ is very good.

affordable

I noticed a immediate improvement over the stock USB cable provided with my DAC. I have many cables and components in my system I needed better emi protection. This got me that for a great price.

I am a firm believer in the fact that audio cable does make a difference in sound. I have experienced it first hand. I have an AudioQuest Cinnamon USB and an AudioQuest Forest USB. They make a difference! However, I can't tell a difference between the two. In other words, for my applications, the Forest works as well as the Cinnamon. It's also more flexible than the Cinnamon, making the Forest easier to manipulate in protable devices.

Great cable for the price

This is a great cable for the price. I am using it to stream internet radio from my laptop through a DAC, to my stereo system. This cable delivers nice, clean sound and lets my DAC do its job.

Great Cable

I have the Carbon USB, then i needed another one for my desktop setup, i did a comparison of both, and didn't hear any difference, For the money this is a solid cable.

Subtle, but yes a difference

Got this cable along with several other Audioquest products when I was doing some finishing touches for my latest system upgrades. This cable feeds a nuForce udac2, and replaces the nuForce cable included with the dac. There is a bit more depth in the music, though seems clarity is close to the same. Worth the price? From a cheap usb cable to this one, definitely yeah. Maybe not so much going from the nuforce cable, nuForce provided a surprisingly good cable. But I've gravitated to the Audioquest Cinnamon line for a lot of my AV cables -- not cheap but also not in the absurd price range, a good balance IMO. With the systems I've put together the last few years, the emphasis has been on quality, and if it costs a bit to get subtle improvements, then so be it -- they add up.
