Long ethernet/short coax? Or vice versa?

My router is located about 12 ft from my audio system. I’ll be connecting it to a Raspberry Pi/HifiBerry Digi+Pro then via a BNC coaxial cable to a Schiit Gumby DAC.

Should the Raspberry be connected by a short ethernet cable to the router, then a long cable to the DAC? The other way around? Or does it make no difference either way?

Thanks!

Long ethernet + short coax.

Yes, definitely.

OK, that’s unanimous then. Thanks!

Now please don’t ask which make of cables to use… then the discussion most certainly will get out of control. :rofl:

Oh, don’t worry. I’m going nowhere near that hornet’s nest. :slight_smile:
