help choosing cable pc to dac.

I would like to stream audio from windows 10 pc.I am concerned with the limitations of the pc source.How far should I go up the cable chain ? 18ft run of 3.5mm to rca to dac.I want a good signal without added noise but don't want to waste money either.Can anyone share their experience or make recommendations.?RW

Was the v link and lengthy digital RCA cable out of budget?  Unless I missed something, you could go USB out, translate into SPDIF, and into the coax input on your DAC. Couple hundred bucks, problem solved!
