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,

YES- 75 ohm BNC and RCA connectors most certainly DO exist: Refer to the site URL that I posted previouly in this thread.
I owned both .5 and 1m Kimber Orchids for use between my CAL Delta and either Sigma or Alpha DAC(back when). The .5m was consistantly terrible(in a number of audible ways), compared to the 1m(which was wonderful). Rat Shack cables(like everything else from them) would be a total waste of money. These are inexpensive, but highly regarded, by everyone that has auditioned them: (http://www.cs1.net/products/canare/LV-77S_digital_audio.htm) They won't break the bank, at any length you choose, either. NO- I've no "connection" with the company. =8^)
Tobias- Read the Jan 2,1997 entry in it's entirety: (http://www.soundstage.com/feedback/resp01.htm) You would think that the people marketing, or the thousands that have purchased Canare 75ohm RCAs over the years, would have noticed if they did not deliver a true 75 ohms by now. (http://www.markertek.com/SearchProduct.asp?item=RCAP%2DC3A&off=6&sort=prod&skuonly=0&search=rca&pagesize=20) "Beyond a shadow of a doubt"? Buy a pair(they'll cost you under $10), attach them to some 75 ohm cable, and use an ohmeter on the assembly. I'm certain thousands of others have tested the RP-C4 RCAs, and LV-61S cables, to remove their doubts too. (http://www.avbestbuy.com/webpage/sayaboutcanare.htm) It seems some companies are buying Canare products, disguising/relabeling them, and selling them as their own(interesting)! =8^)
