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!

Holy cow!  Thank you! That was the most educational and informative explanation I could have ever imagined. You relayed that knowledge very logically and without undue complication. I appreciate you providing an answer and the Logical reason of why you arrived at that answer. I honestly have no idea what that reflection would sound like or if I would even be able to notice it if it was there, but if a longer cable would reduce the odds of me encountering it it seems to be the logical choice.

May as well be speaking Klingon, but impressive nonetheless.
