In Reply to: RE: Digital coax cable length posted by Peter C on July 17, 2017 at 11:20:22
I am intrigued by the moderate lengths being discussed. My PC which handles what little streaming I do, is connected to my audio system via about 10 metres of coaxial SP/DIF cable. It works and I have no idea if it would sound better if this was shorter because I can't rebuild my home to move either system. As long as it is 70 ohm screened co-ax, that should surely be OK?

I believe the S/PDIF distance spec is 10 Meters over 75-ohm coax cable, and these specs are often on the conservative side.
Before I got the house wired with ethernet, I used to use a 50 ft. Monoprice USB cable to stream from my laptop to my main system.
Now I've ordered up a BNC connector for my HiFIBerry Digi+ Pro so I can go BNC from the Pi to BNC on my DAC.
1 1/2 Meters will be hard as BlueJeans Cables are measured in FEET! :-(
Maybe have to special order?
Audiophile is hard work!
Buy from amazon.ca: a 1.5m cable will work much better than a crappy 5' - as long as you avoid measuring it.
