Best length for analog cables from dac to preamp?

I am wondering what is the best length for male rca to male rca cables from a dac to a preamp. I know that some will say whatever length you need. But I'm looking for possible answers such as what will be the best length in case I want to resell them down the road as well as any sonic benefits for a specific length. Thank you.

As an OCD experiment, one weekend, I used an 8 feet cable and a 4 feet cable (Esoteric speaker cables) to see if I can hear the difference when I swapped the cables from left to right.

Conclusion, Zero, nada, nothing changed to my ears... Perhaps, some test gear can see the difference but since I LISTEN to music..
