This well-made Audioquest cable has a solid feel to it. Our sample is the 1.5m; 0.75 and 3m versions are also available.
Pairing our Chord Chordette DAC with the Cinnamon, we found that the sound of our set-up gained smoothness and a sense of authority.
Our kit served up a sweet-sounding treble, and well-integrated midrange, while the bass was sure-footed with nice weight to its delivery.
We’d like to hear more zip in dynamics, and more subtlety with tricky timing, but this Audioquest is worth checking out.
