Default Q: How long can I run a digital line?

hello.

I'd like to run a digital out from my DVD player to a DAC. How long can
this cable be? I can use a coaxial or an optical. I was hoping it could run
six metres.

Is this way out or is this possible?

Thanks

First off, use Coax.
Second, any old piece of crap phono leed will do. As for length I'm
guessing 6m will not be a problem as the signal is digital. If you can
hear a sound with no skips or breaks, then the cable is working
perfectly.
