RE: Help needed with cable lengths

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
