In Reply to: RE: Help needed with cable lengths posted by mr.bear on March 24, 2017 at 14:47:15
Anecdotal evidence indicates a 1.5 meter S/PDIF digital cable does well to help avoid termination related cable reflections, but this issue tends to be cable dependent and it is said to be primarily a way to avoid using a 1 meter length S/PDIF digital cable that tends to be more prone to cable reflections. A shorter 0.5 meter digital cable that is terminated with a "75 Ohm friendly" rca connector and termination method is the preferred option, IME. A USB cable should be a long as practical within a longest-length limitation, with the shortest possible length being the best option to consider. YMMV
Follow Ups:
Of course all this info is dependent on if cable reflections are actually audible to the user of the cable. In measurements it always comes down to the audibility of the measurement.

It's true that keen hearing and listening skills are often developed over a course of many years of experience. Cable reflections are audible based on my own experiences.
