AudioQuest Cinnamon Cat7 RJ-45 5M Ethernet Cable Cinnamon Cat 7 Ethernet cables use massive 1.25% silver conductors that completely eliminate stranded interaction, one of the largest sources of distortion in cables, to achieve a clearer, more dynamic and rousing sound. High-quality conductor metals minimize distortion as they have fewer grain boundaries and fewer impurities (such as oxides) at these limits. The solid insulation made of high-density polyethylene (PE) helps maintain the critical geometry of the signal pairs. Of course, all AudioQuest Ethernet cables note the direction dependence
A$180 is ambitious for a used AudioQuest CINNAMON interconnect, sitting well above the median of A$107 and the 75th percentile of A$123 in recent AUD listings. This price exceeds the top quartile by roughly A$57, making it a tough sell unless the condition is pristine or it includes original accessories.
The CINNAMON interconnect is a well-regarded entry-level cable known for its solid build and balanced sound that avoids harshness, often serving as a reliable upgrade from stock cables. However, at this asking price, a buyer should verify the cable’s age, connector integrity, and whether the original box or documentation is included to justify the premium over typical market values. If those details aren’t strong, waiting for a listing closer to A$100–A$110 would be smarter.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1980 by Bill Low in Irvine, California, AudioQuest traces its roots to 1978, when Low, a hi-fi store manager and avid enthusiast, began crafting superior audio cables to overcome the signal degradation he observed in existing products. Dissatisfied with subpar materials and construction, he prioritized advanced conductors like 6N copper, innovative insulation, and precise geometries, quickly earning acclaim after demos at events like the 1979 Summer CES. This passion-driven origin propelled AudioQuest from a cable innovator—first U.S. company to advance signal transmission in 1985—to a global force in high-performance audio.
While renowned for its expansive lineup of analog, digital, and AC power cables, including HDMI for video, AudioQuest has broadened into USB DACs and headphone amps, highlighted by the multi-award-winning DragonFly series launched in 2012. The brand also offers Niagara and PowerQuest power conditioners, alongside custom-install solutions, all engineered to maximize system fidelity without venturing into amplifiers, speakers, or turntables.
AudioQuest commands a premium position in the high-end market, supplying thousands of specialist retailers across 60 countries as the dominant cable provider for discerning audiophiles. Its relentless innovation, from conductor purity to dielectric design, delivers tangible performance gains, cementing a reputation for value and musicality that serious hi-fi buyers trust.
