Identical, just the length. These are DIY.

So what do you all think. Is a 1.5M cable the minimum length??? Does this make any technical sense?
See link:
Duster: This is true for SPDIF coax. I found no similar reference for USB.
Below is the gracious response I received from Steve N. of Empirical Audio:
Yes, I recommend it for all digital cables.

In an article by Steve Nugent of Empirical Audio in Positive Feedback Online - Issue 14, he recommends usage of at least a 1.5 meter S/PDIF Digital cable.
Does this recommendation hold true for USB cables?

Thanks, Charlie8521! The sonic results seem to prove this out.
Thank you for the excellent info. 1.5M it is.
Keep in mind that when it comes to 75 ohm S/PDIF digital cables, a proper 75 ohm termination and implementing a specific coaxial cable that is less dependent on length, such as those known to perform well at a shorter length such as 0.5m can negate the notion of a mandatory 1.5m length minimum. I can't vouch for that of a USB cable.
