Most visibly, “speed” is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for an HD video. For USB audio (and for HDMI audio), “speed” is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudioQuest USB Type-C cables featuring conductor materials and construction techniques that have allowed AQ’s other USB cables to achieve “Best-In-Class” recognition worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eWith the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices, AudioQuest’s line of Type-C equipped USB cables will allow users to connect with Type-C enabled devices such as MacBook, ChromeBook, Pixel, Galaxy Note 7, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eIn addition, ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAudioQuest Cinnamon USB C to USB A\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAudioQuest Cinnamon USB C to USB A cable is an affordable high quality cable for connecting devices with Type C USB connectors to devices with Type A USB connectors. Cinnamon USB C has Semi-Solid Concentric 1.25% Silver Conductors and Hard-Cell Foam Insulation. All conductors are controlled for correct directionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSemi-Solid Concentric 1.25% Silver Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eSemi-Solid Concentric conductors greatly reduce strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAll Conductors Controlled for Correct Directionality\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. For best performance, please use the cable with the arrows pointing from source to destination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHard-Cell Foam Insulation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eThe Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation that's used in AudioQuest Cinnamon USB Type-C cable ensures critical signal-pair geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges \u0026amp; Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":45981508272301,"sku":"NEW-AQUSBCCIN-1.5","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/3708\/1773\/files\/AQUSBCCIN_.75_01-Large__09984.1697648881.1280.1280_e40516df-09a1-48b8-934b-d98d39a66f9c.jpg?v=1778133907","url":"https:\/\/www.audioadvisor.com\/products\/audioquest-cinnamon-usb-cable-usb-a-to-usb-c-1-5-meter","provider":"Audio Advisor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
