I vote for the latter. Most digital cables are not really meant to be used in lengths longer than 1.5M to ensure the validity of sampling/clocking. The balanced interface on the other hand was designed for longer runs.
Long digital or balanced cable run?
Hi all, want to know which will likely produce better sound a 3 meter run of high quality digital cable from my streamer to my DAC or a 3 meter run of high quality balanced cables from my DAC to my preamp?
Thx.
