Audioquest Cinammon, Vodka and Diamond Ethernet Cables

Rene van Es has posted a review of the Audioquest Cinammon ($89), Vodka ($249) and Diamond ($695) Ethernet cables. His conclusions:

“We should have expected a famous cable manufacturer to make its best sounding cable the most expensive, but this is not always the case I can assure you. Sometimes cables are made more and more expensive for export markets and the increased price has nothing to do with sound quality. AudioQuest proved to me that we still have honest manufacturers around the globe. This Ethernet cable comparison was mainly between Cinnamon, Vodka and Diamond cable. The conclusion is that Cinnamon is certainly a step in the right direction compared to ordinary CAT-5 cable or even to some CAT-7 cables. Vodka is in my opinion on the edge of affordable and very interesting, but its tendency to move the soundstage forwards limits an overall recommendation. It has to match with all other components around it. But if it does fit in you become very happy. The Diamond cable is the best. Period. But very expensive indeed and I would only use it in extremely high end systems.”
