I connected a Mutec MC3+ smart clock device via its AES/EBU digital output with my DAC (emmLabs) using a Mogami Gold Series digital AES/EBU cable (110 Ohm). The length of the cable was 10m (ca. 33 feet). While this worked for 16/44 files, it did not work for higher resolution files (24/88) and higher. "not work" means either silence or a lot of noise and crackling.
I guess that's due to the fact that the cable was just too long. But on the other hand in professional studio environments they also use rather long digita XLR cables.

So I am a bit puzzled...
