Does USB cable length make a diference?

I'm not talking a super long USB cable. I'm looking at a short usb cable from my Streamer to Dac (1 foot would even work). However if I got a more standard length (2 to 3 ft) would I lose anything? A longer cable would be more versatile if I ever needed it for soemething else.

1 foot versus 3 feet will not make a sonic difference.

Power cords are different. Longer the better. 2 meter being the preferred length. I was able to test a one and two meter of the exact same model on my power amp... it was very obvious. As my dealer says, "Twice the length, twice the power conditioning.

 

You must be joking!!
