Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?


I’ve read many times that 1.5m is the best length for SPDIF.
Al Marg’s (RIP) excellent explanations come to mind.
Does this rule apply to XLR 110ohm digital cables as well?

Please don’t turn this thread into a ’bits are bits’ carnival.

mike, thanks for your useless input on this subject.
Please don’t post to my threads if you intend to be negative.

1. I’ve never heard it from a cable vendor.
2. There was at least one scientific paper pointed out by Al Marg concerning this issue.
His insights were frequently useful, always lucid. I believe he was an EE and audiophile so he knew his stuff.

oldears, I agree that bnc connections are probably better than rca because they are generally 75ohm although they come in other values as well.
