Sonic difference 1.0m vs 1.5m digital cable

Some would argue that the LONGER digital cable actually sounds better. At least I remember that argument having been made before.

I forgot to mention that the difference might be audible to a select few if you are using a passive preamp. Even then I have serious doubts.

digital cable with passive preamp?????

There's been a lot of discussion about optimum digital cable length on AA's cable asylum, with adherents favoring l.5 meters, 7.5 feet and -- lately -- as short as humanly possible. I'm currently running a 6-inch link between a moded Toshiba 3950 and an Ack dAck! and it seems to sound a LITTLE better than the longer ones I've tried, but I could well be kidding myself. Dave

Thanks for the responses so far and hence after reading what has been discussed in AA and here I 'm not convinced this will make a difference subjectively, though the techincal explanation makes sense to me. I guess it is system dependent and as some might say YMMV.....
