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.

Obviously, someone never had an audio system complex enough to have a ground
loop.


No, its just that I wrap all my cables with cooking foil, with ferris
(?) rings every 5cm. Each separate is encassed in steel, and has its
own feed direct to my main electrical box with a power purifer and
surge protector.
