Hey guys,
Does the length of the USB cable matter when it comes to SQ and noise? I want to put my DAC on the other side of the room from my computer (next to my big comfy chair) and I figured it'd be better to run the digital signal farther and keep the analog signal shorter. Am I correct in my thinking? Should I make sure it had ferrite cores on either end? It's probably be about 12ft long or so.
Thanks,
paul
EDIT: also this is in regards to a Silverstone EB01 DAC which is powered by the USB cable. Do you forsee an problems there?
