HELP -- 20ft optical connection okay?


This may be a silly question, but, I have about a 20-25foot distance from my transport to my DAC. The transport (Oracle) sits on an antique chest quite far from the rest of my equipment. I think this situation is okay given the nature of optical cable; however, I am far from an expert and would appreciate any insight as well as suggestions for brands. Thanks, Sean.

You should check out monarchyaudio.com. They sell an anti jitter device (pro version) which is spec'd to drive coax runs upto 1000 ft. The advantage is a cleaner signal and a cleaner regenerated clock signal. I, at one time used two cascaded together with great results. The only reason I don't now is because I went to a one box player. Regards, Mike PS>they are very inexpensive (although this is relative, if you have a Oracle unit, then I feel safe with the statement concerning expense)
