Didn't know how else to word the thread.
I am considering getting this to finally try my computer as a source. The device will convert the USB signal to S/PDIF.
Problem: My computer is about 15' away from my DAC & 2-channel setup and is not going to be moving closer anytime soon. Therefore, I am considering running a 15' USB cable to this device which will sit on or near my setup.
Given that cable length is an issue with other formats like digital coax (jitter) and single-ended analog cables, etc. I was wondering if USB has "cable length issues"? My guess is that, from what I've read, USB is generally jitter-free so the issue is more of signal strength (voltage/current/whatever) loss or something like that.
Anyone know anything? I've searched around here and not found anything but I admit I've not done an exhaustive Internet search on the issue.
