Echo/reverb effect DAC to PC USB connection


I'm attempting to connect my s.m.s.l. DAC to my PC using a USB cable. The DAC and the PC are about 20' apart so I purchased an active USB cable. For some reason the audio sounds like it's in an echo chamber or extreme reverb. I tried temporarily moving the DAC closer to the PC using a 4' USB cable and it sounds fine - no echo. Any idea what's going on here and how to resolve it?

Thanks for your reply. The DAC is asynchronous. Not sure what ASIO is - software program? Just out of curiosity, is there a way to connect them wireless?
