In what laboratory or think-tank...


...was the 1.5 meter length of digital cable established as the optimum length to use between Transport and DAC?

Is this a proven fact or just more cable BS?

I was browsing over at the Empirical Audio web site and, unfortunately, could not find the tech paper about this issue. I did notice that they sell 3 different lengths of digital cables (.5, 1.0 and 2.0 meter).

Respected cable manufacturer, Chris VenHaus, quotes the following on his website: "Optimum length for digital (SPDIF) Interconnects is >1.5 meter!"

Is this length issue only in regards to RCA and not to AES/EBU termination of the coax?

Thanks all for your imput on this topic. I am debating changing from the 1.0 length I have now but, as usual, am a bit skeptic. I use the AZ Mc2 AES/EBU model at present.
