AudioQuest Cinnamon FireWire

It seems like it wasn't all that long ago that digitally based audio systems were the components of a niche, geek crowd that wanted to combine their interests in computers and music all in one solution.

Now with the popularity of iTunes and the rapid development of external components like digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and streaming devices consumers have a multitude of digital audio components to build a modern sound system. AudioQuest's new Cinnamon FireWire is designed by the Irvine, California-based company to provide a high-speed and reliable means of connecting these new digital audio components together to form a quality system.

AudioQuest manufactures the cable in a choice of six-to-six, six-to-nine and nine-to-nine pin configuration to provide a choice of terminations solutions, and the company builds the cables with silver-plated conductors and gold-plated pins to help ensure signal integrity. The cables are engineered to handle everything from low resolution 128kps MP3 files to high-resolution 24-bit/96kHz audio files, and the company offers a choice of cable lengths that range from three-quarters of a meter up to five meters.
