Any recommendations for good quality SPDIF optical audio cable? I'm going to have a run of 6m or so which, according to some things I've read, can be pushing it a bit.

Not sure who makes the best ones but 6m is a very long run. I've seen issues even with the short cables. Are you sure you need the galvanic isolation that optical provides, might be easier to guarantee reliability with converters or coax if it's provided.

The main reason is to use the good DAC in the amp rather than a cheaper one in a converter.
