SACD Interconnects

I know this has been discussed before but I need the latest input from the forum. Very simple question. The multi-channel audio output from an SACD player is a digital signal to the amp or prepro or AVR. Correct so far? OK, that being the case, should the 6 interconnects then be digital audio cable and not analog? Digital audio cable has a 75 ohm impedance and is coax construction which is evidently recommended for SACD output. Please comment. Thanks.

If you are using a set of 6, they are analog, not digital. All you need are regular analog interconnects.

Kal or anyone:

I decided on 3 prs of 1 meter analog decent audiophile grade ICs. I'll leave out the brand for now unless your answers depend on knowing the brand and series.

Anyway, the hi-fi audio store is about a one hour drive from here but I was out that way on business so I didn't have to make a special trip. When I got them home, two of the 3 packages were mismarked. Two of the 3 pairs are actually 1.5 meters in length and the other pair is 1 meter. I only need 1 meter in length for all 3 pairs. Would this have any impact on the overall sound if I use the 1 meter pr for the L & R mains and the longer pairs for the center, subwoofer, and two surrounds? If none, it would save me the hassle of returning and exchanging them. The store would have to order them too which means another trip out there to pick them up. Any guidance here? Many thanks.
