AudioQuest - Cinnamon USB C to USB C Cable (2.46 ft.) - Black

Elevate Your Audio ExperienceIn today's digital age the quality of your audio equipment can significantly impact your listening experience. The AudioQuest Forest USB-C to USB-C Digital Audio Cable is designed for those who seek superior sound quality from their devices. Whether you're an audiophile or someone who simply appreciates clear detailed audio this cable promises to enhance your connection and overall enjoyment.Superior Conductivity with Silver-Plated ConductorsAt the heart of the Forest USB-C cable are its 0.5% silver-plated conductors. This design choice minimizes strand-interaction distortion ensuring a cleaner signal path. The high-frequency signals typical in USB audio transmissions benefit immensely from silver's conductivity resulting in a more accurate and immersive sound reproduction.Effective Noise Reduction through Metal-Layer ShieldingUnwanted noise can detract from the purity of your audio. The Forest cable combats this with its metal-layer noise-dissipation system which effectively shields against radio-frequency interference. This means your music remains free from external distortions allowing for a clearer and more enjoyable listening experience.Stable Signal with Hard-Cell Foam InsulationThe integrity of an audio signal can be compromised by energy absorption in the cable's insulation. AudioQuest addresses this by using hard-cell foam insulation which contains nitrogen-injected air pockets. These pockets reduce energy absorption and release maintaining signal stability and minimizing distortion.Precision Engineering with Direction-Controlled ConductorsEvery detail matters when it comes to audio fidelity. The Forest USB-C cable features direction-controlled conductors a design that ensures induced noise is properly dissipated and drained. This meticulous engineering choice contributes to the cable's overall performance delivering sound as

For many applications the speed of digital communication is important. 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.AudioQuest 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.With the newer USB Type-C connector quickly becoming commonplace on many devices AQ’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. In addition ALL of AudioQuest’s USB cables incorporate a newly developed strain-relief system to provide robust durability between the USB cable and plug.Solid 0.5% Silver ConductorsSolid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. 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 HDMI cables.Hard-Cell Foam InsulationHard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry.

Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like USB audio and video. 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 100% silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality USB cables.Metal-Layer Noise-DissipationIt's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. Noise-Dissipation "shields the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.Hard-Cell Foam InsulationHard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any 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 & Falls cables and is nitrogen-
