I find interconnect lengths don’t make as much of a difference under 10ft. So the difference between 1.5ft and 3 is irrelevant in my opinion. I find the shorter you can make your speaker cables the better. Get your amps as close to your speakers as possible. This makes a bigger difference. I don’t use digital cables shorter than 1.5m/4.5ft unless the absolutely necessary. It has to do with transmission theory and helps reduce the chance of Jitter. Short Digital cables have a better chance of being kinked. Kinking a digital cable effects he impedance of the cable. As the 75ohm rating is based on the geometry of the cable. Kinking the cable will distort the geometry and effect the impedance.
