With a typical signal propagation speed of 0.2 m/ns, the maximum length becomes 5.2 m or 17 feet. 😉You don't have to go all technical Current: Daphile on an AMD A10-9500 with 16 GB RAM DAC - TEAC UD-501 DAC Pre-amp - Rotel RC-1590 Amplification - Benchmark AHB2 amplifier Speakers - Revel M126Be with 2 REL 7/ti subwoofers Cables - Tara Labs RSC Reference and Blue Jean Cable Balanced Interconnects Link to comment

It worked, as in music played but sounded bad (messed with cymbals, other percussion...) versus a 1 meter cable. Returned the 3 meter. Just remember that a certified USB cable has specific characteristics and is tested to work the way it does. Might have been a bad USB cable. sandyk 1 Current: Daphile on an AMD A10-9500 with 16 GB RAM DAC - TEAC UD-501 DAC Pre-amp - Rotel RC-1590 Amplification - Benchmark AHB2 amplifier Speakers - Revel M126Be with 2 REL 7/ti subwoofers Cables - Tara Labs RSC Reference and Blue Jean Cable Balanced Interconnects Link to comment
