50’ Connection Between Mac and DAC


I’m currently wirelessly streaming CD rez AIFF files from iTunes on a 2017 iMac to my main system (2 rooms away) using an older Airport Express device. I want to go with a wired connection from the Mac to a DAC (Looking at the Schiit Bifrost 2 or, less likely, a Chord Qutest.) which will reside in the rack with the main system......I really don’t want to purchase a dedicated streamer at this point. My understanding is that connection runs of this length are best done with something called SPDIF coax (??). Can this be divided up in such a way that I could use 3 runs of this coax - one from the Mac to an adjacent wall plate, an attic run, and then a third run from a wall plate adjacent to the main system to the DAC? If this is possible, would it be a significant SQ improvement over what I’m using now?

Thanks.

I totally do not understand why you would go this route when you could install Roon server on your Mac and put a Pi based Roon player in your rack for less than $200 and be done with this, while gaining iPhone/Android remote capabilities.
Please excuse my lack of knowledge on this... would this roon/(Raspberry Pi??) Setup negate the need for a DAC? If so, can the Pi device be purchased as plug-and-play for this application? Thanks.
Hi OP:

The pi acts as a receiver/converter.  It will take what your mac sends and output via USB.

Your Mac will need to be on and on the network to serve as the Roon server
If you’re going to run 50 feet use AES3 it’s good up to about 100 meters. Get a Schiit Modius it will take AES3 input and balanced output. Get a USB to AES3 converter and place close to your computer try to make the 50 foot run with one cable.
