I'd like to run a digital out from my DVD player to a DAC. How long can
this cable be? I can use a coaxial or an optical. I was hoping it could
run six metres.


Is this way out or is this possible?


No problem. Use co-ax rather than optical - it's cheaper.


'scuse me? I picked up a 3m optical cable for 6ukp.

they were selling 12m ones for ~20 IIRC.
