A:AnswerI’ve used cinnamon cables and I really like them. 48Gbps is more than enough for now but as resolution advances, 48 Gbps will give you more room than 18. IMO you need at least 18GBps to get HDR. So, I would go with the cinnamon
A:AnswerThe back of the Cinnamon box says it is "UL-rated CMG/FT4 (CMG exceeds CL3)." CMG is in-wall rated and FT4 is the flame rating - what heat it can resist. The rating seems to indicate it can be used in the wall. It would have been nice if the box or the audioquest web site plainly stated this information.
A:AnswerONE OF THE BEST CABLES I HAVE OWNED. IT SHOWED DETAIL THAT WAS MISSED WITH OTHE CABLES. iF YOU NEED A TOP OF THE LINE CABLE, I RECOMMEND THIS CABLE.
A:AnswerI personally do not use the cinnamon for my eARC. I only use it for my 4K 120hz gaming consoles. For my eARC I use the one that is one step down called forest with my Sonos system and everything sounds perfect. The cinnamon in my opinion is overkill but, it definitely wouldn’t hurt.
A:AnswerFrom my personal experience the color on a quality 4k tv and the audio quality. I personally play alot of Blueray audio and video through them into my 9.2 chanel reciever and it sounds and looks awesome. I personally stopped at the Cinnamon line I felt it was a sweet spot for performance to dollar. If I could afford it I would try some higher priced ones.
