Digital Coax Cable - Does the Length Make a Difference


Someone (I don't remember who) recently posted something here stating:
"Always get 2 meter length digital cables because I have experienced reflection
problems on short cables, resulting in smeared sound and loss of resolution."

With all due respect to the member that posted this, I'm not trying to start a
controversy, just wondering if others have experienced this.  

I will be looking for a Digital Coax cable soon to run from my Node2i to a Dac.
I really only need 1/2 meter. Not sure if a short cable like this is a problem or 
just a case of Audio Nervosa.

I was aware of the explanation for S/PDIF.  I’m curious if the same applies to USB and other digital implementations.  I would assume yes.  Jaytor of Kijanki?
