Its solid Long-Grain Copper conductor carries a 1.25% silver plating, more than twice the silver of Forest. Hard-Cell Foam insulates it and a Metal-Layer shield wraps it. The plugs are cold-welded and gold-plated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSolid 1.25% Silver Over Long-Grain Copper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says a digital signal rides almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor, so it applies increasingly thick silver plating as the range climbs. Cinnamon's 1.25% layer puts more silver where the signal travels than Forest, at what AudioQuest calls a superbly cost-effective price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation and Hard-Cell Foam\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAudioQuest says a traditional shield drains radio noise to component ground and distorts the reference plane. Its Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation shields the shield, absorbing and reflecting most of that noise first. Hard-Cell Foam, injected with nitrogen, holds the conductor at a stable spacing along the whole run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eThe RCA Plugs, Explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eCinnamon ends in a cold-welded RCA plug at each end, gold-plated. RCA is the single-pin plug on the coaxial digital output of most CD players, streamers and DACs. AudioQuest joins plug to wire under high pressure with no solder, which it calls a common source of distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Digital Cable Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want more silver on the signal path\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cinnamon's 1.25% plating is more than double Forest's, so the surface the signal rides on is closer to solid silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour CD player or streamer has a coaxial output\u003c\/strong\u003e — the RCA plugs fit the orange coax socket on most sources and DACs, so no adapter is needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour rack is crowded with power supplies\u003c\/strong\u003e — the Metal-Layer shield catches radio noise before it reaches the ground reference, so the DAC sees a cleaner signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou want a plug that will not corrode\u003c\/strong\u003e — the gold-plated, cold-welded RCA holds its finish and its grip over years of use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour gear has BNC or AES\/EBU sockets\u003c\/strong\u003e — an RCA plug will not fit them.
