Matching digital input impedance of dac with cable

Is this important? The input impedance of the dac i am considering is 75 ohm. I want to use cables with an impedance of 110 ohm. Is this a problem? Can someone please explain why matching or why not matching these impedances is important?

Thank you

ncwogger:thanks for the nice review. I am considering the Acoustic Zen digital cable for no other reason then the fact that I currently have all AZ cables in my system. I have never heard of Chimera. I will have to check them out. Do you mind if you ask what digital source and dac you are using?
