hardly defensive, just irritated

no one here is your information butler, serving stuff you want on a silver platter on demand

search the site if you want background info... you can figure any basic question you have has been answered before -- that is why each a-gon page starts at the very top with the search bar

just type "proper length digital cable" in it, see what happens if you doubt what folks trying to help you with the correct answer are saying -- it’s like magic!

instead of saying - ’show me documentation of your assertion...’
for what it is worth to those on this tread, I am now aware there are some articles about this subject, but interestingly, neither my DAC or cable manufacturer recognize this as an issue.....I would certainly think they would if it was a significant issue, as it would cause consternation about their products and the resulting sound....
USB best.  No documentation to prove it.  Just lots of testing. And if you want to listen to DSD, which is to be recommended as it sounds better if a genuine DSD recording (ie not simply upsampled) then you need USB.
