Good to know that about the SB.  Is this true for the SB2 as well as
the SB3?

This is also true, but the main cause of reflections in an SPDIF set-up
is an inconsistency of impedences all along the SPDIF chain (digital
out, cable, digital in), so without knowing if a particular DAC has a
true 75ohm input, it's safer to stick with the 1.5m cable.  And in any
case, RCA connectors aren't 75ohms, so its hard to minimize the
inconsistency unless you use a BNC connector into the DAC...
