Mike, you are talking about digital cable here. For digital cable, impedance is important but length is not, unless you are talking about very long length in which signal degradation becomes a factor. Signal reflection is caused by impedance mismatch, not length. You shouldn't have to spend more than $30 to $40 for a good digital cable, silver or copper makes no difference. Don't spend too much on it.
1.5m for 75ohm digital coax?
Hey everybody.
I am going to upgrade my RCA coax cable connection between my Monarchy DIP (re-clocker)and Musiland MD10 DAC. I'm upgrading from copper to silver.
I have read numerous posts on this and other forums that one should use at least a 1.5 meter length to prevent signal reflections(or something like that). Is this length really necessary? I only need a .5m cable and these silver cables are expensive.
