In Reply to: Optical is a bad digital option I hear, what about on long runs, and a cell tower..?? posted by Jonnycorn3 on October 28, 2023 at 09:11:12:
I've used Lifatec glass fibers in the past without too many concerns aside from structural robustness... though much less of a problem in the home than out. But really, USB is still what I would suggest to you, with a reclocker put in place just shy of your DAC.
For my own use, I place a Wyred4Sound ISO Recovery device on the far end of a 1.5m Supra USB (A-B) cable, then any one of a group of short USB (A-B) cables that have legitimate shielding for the final leg of a 1' or so. You can also and certainly go as short as you possibly can if you prefer to minimize the opportunity for RF ingress considering your environment.
So that is something to consider if you are not totally turned off to USB, but frankly, I wouldn't be unless you are actually, and presently, experiencing interconnection failures.
