60’ between Mac and Dac
Mon, Dec 10 2012, 7:19PM
Hello! I have a Mac witch is 60' from my Dac.
Any suggestions for best way to connect these two without loosing sound quality ?
My dac can accept up to 24/192 .
Thanks.

How are you connecting the two? If USB, you can buy 'active' USB extension cables designed to minimize signal loss over long distances. Do a Google search and I'm sure you'll find a few, but you could do with trying one with the agreement that you can return it if it doesn't meet your needs.
But I've got to ask...how on earth have you ended up with a situation where your DAC and computer are sixty feet apart?!
