The 1.5m "rule" is based on an assumption that the rise time is usually about 25ns, and therefore a cable should be at least this long in order to ensure that a reflection from the start of the transition does not reach the receiver at the same instant that it is sampling the edge. However, transition times other than 25ns are possible (squeezebox is 17ns), and furthermore, in a properly controlled system there should be no reflections regardless of cable length. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26332 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
