Looking for a piece of advice .....
My Beresford DAC is a good 4m from the DVD player I want to feed it occasionally.
If I run a coaxial digital out to the DAC, circa 5m once it has gone around the room, will I be losing much sound quality ?
If this is not recommended, then is the optical interface a better option?
(Can I get 5m of SPDIF optical cable?)
I am also hoping to feed a digital signal from a PC on the other side of the room.
I was planning to put a USB sound card near the DAC, and use a 5m USB to move the signal in the digital domain to the soundcard, thus minimising the signal path between the sound card and the DAC. Is this likely to be better than keeping the soundcard near the PC and then using long SPDIF to move the signal to the DAC?
Any guidance would be gratefully received ...
