Hello, I would like my seating position to be further away form my equipment than it is currently. The new preferred position would be 6.3m from the equipment. May I ask what length of headphone cable is considered in the range for best sound. Is 6.3m just too long? Is there a brand/quality needed that would make this 6.3m length possible? Thank you, Bob ---
