AudioQuest Cinnamon 48G HDMI Cable
Making use of 4 audio/video pairs capable of 12Gbps, the Cinnamon 48G HDMI cable is capable of carrying up to 10K Ultra-HD video (it is, of course, still compatible with 4k displays). Whether for regular viewing or for gaming, this HDMI cable delivers highly on picture and sound quality. A step up from the Pearl, the Cinnamon has an extra level of metal layer noise dissipation and features 1.25% solid silver conductors for even greater performance.
What AudioQuest say
Sound first. While 8K and other compelling videos/gaming features make the HDMI headlines, AudioQuest’s 48 and eARC-Priority Series HDMI cables are their best-sounding HDMI cables yet.
The greater precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to deliver HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean all of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques matter every bit as much as ever before.
Cinnamon 48 features 1.25% Silver-Plated Copper conductors that have been direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise; a metal-layer shield is placed around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs to further enhance noise-dissipation.
All of AudioQuest’s new 48Gbps HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. The impressive 48Gbps data rate is made possible by four balanced audio/video pairs capable of 12Gbps each. And, of course, the latest technology is backwards compatible with 4K displays.
Features :
- Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors
- Level 2 Noise Disippation - Direction Controlled & Metal Layer
- Solid 1.25% Silver eARC Conductors
- All 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled (A/V, eARC, Ground-Reference Drains, Control, Power)
- All 48G cables up to 5m have the bandwidth required for video with resolutions up to 10k, including 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz
Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors
In AudioQuest HDMI cables, increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable. Cinnamon 48 uses 1.25% Silver-Plated Copper for its conductors.
Level 2 Noise Dissipation: Metal Layer + Directionality
Traditional “100% shielding” is not enough to guard against the increasingly prevalent effects of Wi-Fi, cellular, and satellite radiation. In AudioQuest HDMI cables, all 19 conductors are Direction-Controlled to minimize the RF Noise that damages performance by “directing” or draining it away from the most vulnerable circuits. In Level 2 Noise Dissipation, a metal layer is placed around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs to further enhance noise-dissipation. Additional Noise-Dissipation techniques (Levels 3 and up) are applied as budget permits to further reduce noise.
48G HDMI Cables from AudioQuest
AudioQuest “48” HDMI cables can transfer up to professional 10K Ultra-HD video. The 48Gbps bandwidth is made possible by 4 balanced audio/video pairs capable of 12Gbps each. The precision and tighter manufacturing tolerances required to produce HDMI cables that transfer up to 48Gbps bandwidth mean many of AudioQuest’s tried-and-true ingredients and techniques are more important than ever before.
HDR (High Dynamic Range)
All AudioQuest HDMI cables support HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dynamic HDR. HDR content expands the contrast of the image for blacker blacks and brighter whites/highlights as well as greater color saturation and brightness. In addition, 4K Ultra-HD content allows for a wider color range.
This combination of technologies results in more realistic HDR images with greater perceived depth. Dynamic HDR (HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, for example) enables frame-by-frame HDR optimization rather than HDR settings that are fixed for the entire program. The most prominent current HDR formats are HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision.
AudioQuest 18Gbps and 48Gbps HDMI cables are compatible with all varieties of HDR, which can be found on Ultra-HD Blu-ray, and all major streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Apple TV+, and others.
eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel)
HDMI’s Audio Return Channel (ARC) sends audio from a TV to a soundbar or AV receiver for greater simplicity and flexibility in system setup. Hardware’s previous ARC capabilities max out at lossy (compressed) 5.1-channel surround sound.
Today’s HDMI 2.1 hardware supports enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which increases the digital bandwidth dramatically to support uncompressed and lossless high-resolution multichannel audio, including Dolby TrueHD and Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio and DTS: X.
Not only do all current generations of AudioQuest HDMI cables have the conductors and bandwidth required for eARC’s enhanced sonic capabilities, but, in order to ensure superior audio performance, the ARC-channel conductor-pair is internally controlled for direction, running in the opposite direction from the 4 pairs that carry information to the TV.
Finally, AudioQuest’s eARC-Priority models include 4 Silver-Plated Forest 48-level audio/video data pairs—but with a far superior single data pair for the TV’s audio output. By upgrading the ARC data path only, audiophile quality is made possible at a fraction of the cost of upgrading all 5 data pairs.

About AudioQuest
AudioQuest has been the largest cable supplier to the high-end specialist market for many years. AudioQuest is sold in several hundred outlets in the US and in over sixty countries. Bill Lowe (Founder) is especially pleased that this success has been possible despite his insistence that the foundation of the company, and the foundation of AudioQuest marketing, must be the performance of the product. In the audio world, many professionals have learned that it is not always convenient to listen to the products they sell … they might learn something they don’t want to know! Bill has always understood the challenge of basing the existence of AudioQuest on the performance of the product. However, to Bill, this is the only reasonable way to do business and the only acceptable way to combine his passion for music (and all things high performance), with his need to make a living.

Top quality HDMI cable. If you buy an expensive TV and want the best out of it, then buy the CINNAMON HDMI cable, and you will see the difference.
These are not cheap, but you pay for what you get, money well spent.

Brilliant cable, well worth the money. Highly recommended.
I had AQ Pearl on my system but decided to upgrade. The picture is much richer in colour but not overblown, and the edges are sharper. The unexpected gain was in the sound. My sound bar and sub have a more enveloping and open sound.
However, take care in ordering the length required. This is a much thicker, stiffer cable, so leave enough extra cable to allow for twisting to the orientation of the HDMI slots.

I have had 2 of these cables connecting my Panasonic UB 9000 and Denon 3800 and between the Denon and LG C2 65.
I waited for a couple of weeks before my review. The first improvement was the sound within 24 hrs, which was awesome. The picture after a week was gorgeous. Rich colours, smooth and with excellent contrast. The difference with this cable was amazing! I am watching my 4K and normal Blurays with a grin on my face.
My previous cables were from a different brand and a couple of years old and were well regarded. But the difference was unbelievable after the Cinnamon was run in. It is expensive, but the quality of the build and what you see and hear with this cable are worth it in spades. It is relatively stiff, but you can gently manipulate it in setting up your system.
Get it and be amazed.

Out of the box, it gives a colour-saturated, almost grainy picture. 20 or so hours later, it’s a different cable with a very even colour balance and spooky good black levels. It can even make the best of SD broadcasts, much to my surprise.
Sound-wise, a total winner detail without being edgy. I will be buying another to complete my system.

I've tried numerous cables from Zeskit, ibra, Belkin and True and none can come even close to the Audioquest Cinnamon.
It blew these cables away. Warzone and call of duty cold war look entirely different and even helps with LAG, even the sound is incredible, watched Money Heist on Netflix my wife even noticed the difference she screamed WOW lol. I highly recommend,
BUY YOU WON'T REGRET IT. Thanks, Adam Senior from sales

I have two of these linking from Blu-ray and SkyQ into NAD T778 AVR. They are well made, chunky feeling cables.
They replaced the foc cables that came with each unit. But I cannot say that they have improved the sound or vision over the original cables. Unfortunately, I threw the packaging away otherwise I would have returned them within the 30 days.

I needed a 5m cables so, although rather costly, I decided to invest in the latest generation cable from AQ, since I have had a good experience with their products in the past. The packing is the standard, underwhelming cardboard box. The cable is very thick, stiff and non-braided (disappointingly no braiding over 3m in length). Up to this point not much value for money. But the proof, of course, is in the pudding and this cable performs better than shorter and more expensive cables in their previous range.
I am not convinced the sound quality is better (and I have a rather revealing system) but the cable delivers the 4K HDR goods with strong colours, impressive sharpness and, so far, no handshake issues, artifacts or major noise. The sound quality is up there with the best HDMI cables I have had so far. So, if you can accommodate the thickness / stiffness of this cable, this is a very clear step up from an entry level HDMI cable, including AQ’s own Forest, Carbon and Vodka range I have used in the past.
