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.

I haven't noticed differences when using 1 meter or 2 meter versions of the same cable in my system. I bet something crazy like a 25 foot cable would be problematic though.

More important imho is the get the right length to organize it properly. Too short or too long and you might have it crossing over or getting too close to power cables, which is not ideal.
