Digital cable optimal length?


Last time I asked about optimal phono cable length, i got mostly answers like 1.5 m or less. I had experimented since then using 6 ft long RCA/RCA as phono cable and compared with same make 1.5 RCA/RCA cable as phono for along time with all my three TT set ups and result was same.

it does DETERIORATE the sound quality drastically as the cable gets longer (i had tried 4ft long also)

Now the question about digital cable.
Would having 3 m long BALANCED /BALANCED digital cable have similar results?
Have you tried?

Thanks,

Al, do BNC or RCA type plugs exist that have a true 75 ohms impedance? And what kind of mechanical joint would you apply between the conductor and the plug (to minimize impedance mismatch): soldering or crimping?
