RE: USB cable length

Your recommendation is based on SPDIF. It has no relationship to USB.

Signaling rate on USB 2.0 is much higher, so these arguments don't apply. Also, USB is a packet bus which further complicates the issue. There is no relationship between the data clock rate on USB and the audio clock rate. There is a relationship between the packet clock rate on USB and the audio clock rate, but the packet clock rate is 1000 Hz, so the wavelength is measured in hundreds of kilometers.
