Hello,
I'd like to buy a stereo amp and feed it with audio from a DAC (plugged to a laptop). The amp will probably be in the same room as the laptop, but not right near it. I assume the cable length I'll need will be of about 7 to 10 meters. Is it too long for a regular unbalanced cable, and will the signal be degraded? Should my equipment work with balanced cables or would it be overkill at such lengths? I also thought about digital outputs, but this would require a A/V receiver, as stereo amps with digital inputs are almost non existent, and I don't need an A/V receiver.
Thanks.
