Best Firewire Cable between Computer and DAC

Sun, 11/02/2008 - 06:26 — Christopher85

Hi Guys,

searching the forum I found a similar topic on USB cables but nothing on Firewire.
I want to relocate my amp and dac to a place further away from my desk so I will need a longer firewire cable. The cable will have to be 6-7m long. Any suggestions anyone?
Would a cable of that length limit the sound quality?

Thanks in advance!
