Hi, considering replacing this:

https://www.adamhall.com/shop/ge-en...s/other-audio-cables/3192/k3-tpc-0100?c=17698

With this:

https://www.thomann.de/gb/sommer_cable_basic_hba_62c2_03m.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6IjQiLCJsYW5ndWFnZSI6ImVuIn0=

Basically because it's shorter. My DAC sits next to my headphone amplifier, I put both on top of my computer case to keep my desk clean. I place them on top of a piece of cardboard because im paranoid the metal from the PC case would make it have hum noise or something.

Anyway my question is: Will I notice any improvement at all, or it will just sound the same? I just don't need 1 meter cable, 0,3meter should be enough and look cleaner.

I just don't get why the longer 1 meter cable is 4,5€ while the 0,3 meter cable is 12,20€ .. what im missing here?

No change in sound quality.

I'm guessing there is a lot more competition for a 1 meter cable, competition brings prices down.

If you hear a difference between cables. It means there’s a fault somwhere.
Two technical things to check on cables.
impedance should be low.
And that the cable is shielded.

more than this is snake oil.
