RE: Digital coax cable length


In practical terms unless you have significant impedance mismatch at each end of the cable (source and load), it's not going to matter if you go with .5m, 1m, 1.5m, 2m, etc. Reflections occur due to mismatch. Even with slight mismatch it's not going to matter a lot because the signal arriving at the load end will be amplified and reshaped. There may be a theoretical 'ideal' but whether it really matters and is plainly audible is another story.
