Audioquest Cinnamon USB A to B Digital Audio Cable
Overview
When a computer or streamer feeds a USB DAC, the USB cable carries every bit of the music, and AudioQuest builds its USB cables to reduce the jitter and distortion that can creep in along the way. The AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-A to B is a USB cable designed to transport digital audio as well as internet and computer data, with a USB-A plug for the computer and a USB-B plug for the DAC or other device.
It uses solid 1.25% silver-plated Long-Grain Copper conductors. AudioQuest explains that digital signals travel almost entirely on the surface of a conductor, so placing silver on the outside gives the greatest benefit, and solid conductors help eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation absorbs and reflects most RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground, nitrogen-injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation keeps the conductor geometry stable, and the signal conductors are direction-controlled, with arrows on the connectors showing which way to run the cable.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Follow the arrows on the plugs: AudioQuest marks them so the cable runs in the direction that best drains noise. Many USB DACs take a USB-B input, so check yours before ordering, and choose the shortest length that comfortably reaches.

Why the AudioQuest Cinnamon USB-A to B Stands Out
Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors
Silver-plated Long-Grain Copper, with silver on the surface where high-frequency digital signals travel, to reduce jitter and distortion.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Absorbs and reflects most RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Nitrogen-injected foam keeps signal-pair geometry stable for a consistent impedance and lower distortion.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
Signal conductors are controlled for digital audio direction, with arrows on the connectors.
USB-A to USB-B
Connects a computer or streamer's USB-A port to a DAC or other USB-B device, for audio and data.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Computer Audio Listener: Plays music from a laptop or desktop through a USB DAC.
- The Streamer Owner: Connects a network streamer's USB output to an outboard DAC.
- The Box-Cable Replacer: Wants something better than a generic printer-style USB cable.
How It Compares
AudioQuest offers USB-A to B cables at several levels, including Forest, Cinnamon, and Carbon. Cinnamon uses solid 1.25% silver-plated conductors with Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation and Hard-Cell Foam insulation.
