Having a bit of a change around during the hols, and I
need to link up a computer (Mac Mini) to a USB DAC 5
metres away.

The usual length limit for USB is 15 feet - close enough to 5 meters.

The maximum length for USB1.1 devices is 3 metres. My USB DAC is a
USB1.1 device and not USB2. Whether the cable limit refers to the host
adaptor or the client device I don't know.
