In general short cables sound better than long cables. Thats not an absolute, its possible to have a 4ft very good cable sound better than a cheap 3ft cable, but that cheap 3ft cable is probably going to sound better than any 15ft cable.
I once tried a 20ft cable (which is longer than the spec allows) and it sounded terrible.
The short is best does not hold true when you go to optical cables. In my setup the 30ft Optics cable, with the device driven by a good linear supply, and a short cable from the optical end to the DAC sounded better than any regular cable.
I even had good results with active extension cables with a short cable from the end of the active cable. Others have had very different results with this setup though.
