DAC question.

Plan on rigging a modern tv to my vintage amp. I'll be running optical cable to the DAC then RCA to the amp. The TV and and amp 6 metres apart...so is it better to have:

A. Long optical cable to DAC, short RCA to amp.
B. short optical/long RCA
C. Make no difference.

A

1s & 0s are either there or not, analogue signals change more with longer cables as a cable is a form of LCR filter

Thanks!

I thought that would be the case but was hoping to be able charge the DAC from the TVs USB port rather have it fight for a plug socket with the hi-fi gear...
