Balanced audio is better for longer cable runs and when those cables are around a high amount of electric signal. Unbalanced audio works best under 10 feet and in a smaller studio environment. Balanced cables are more resistant to external noise or interference due to their capacity for common-mode rejection, as answered in the previous question. Common-mode rejection allows for balanced cables to have less noise in the signal path. Prepaid Gift Balance
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.
