How far can I run a USB cable before it degrades or alters fidelity/data?
Context: New set-up. I am dedicating a computer for use as a media server in my basement, yet I want the USB DAC to be located above it on the next floor. Distance is about twenty feet (max). I can fish a long USB cable with no problem, but wonder what (if any) sonic trade-offs come from it.
