1.0 or 1.5 m digital interconnect, does it matter?

Hi folks, in theory 1.5 m length for S/PDIF should be better than shorter lengths. But in real live does it matter much if the cable length is 1.5 m instead of 1.0 m? I mean, does one hear clear sonic differences between the two lengths? Does one for example hear a grittier sound with the 1.0 m compared to the 1.5 m cable?

Thanks Audiofeil

I didn't read Pawlowski6132's post (more of a quick skim)...I do agree with him though....:D

Someone wrote an artical saying that 1.5m of cable sounded better than 1m...something about reflections or some sort of crap?...I don't hear any difference?

I do see that he sells 1m digital cables at his web site?...I would not sell them if I thought they would degrade someones system...maybe he warns them first though?

I did read your white-paper on the subject a good while back...I try to retain so much in such a cramped space between my ears but I mostly forget 90% of what I read, (not because I want to).

I do remember that it was a very good paper...thanks for the link (and the other info), I will re-read the entire paper.
