Using a short coax cable?

I've read in the past that using a coax cable at least 1.5 m is necessary to prevent Jitter between a CD transport and a DAC. Does the same hold true for using coax cables between a streamer and a DAC? I have a 0.75 m audioquest cinnamon coax cable that I'd like to use between my bluesound node 2i and an external DAC. Should I sell this cable on eBay  and buy a longer one?,  Or, are stories like I read just neurotic rumors and theory that can never really be heard when enjoying music?
Thanks!

As a general method for anything, and this cable specifically:

I suggest keeping your existing cable until you decide to either return or keep the new longer one. Hear no difference, you learned something, send the new one back.
