Ok, I'm a bit confused here and would like some clarification.

In the post above, Commuteman says:

I suspect that the closer a cable gets to "perfect" adherence to the 75ohm ideal, the less character it should have...

In your reply you say:

I'm not sure that the 75 Ohm ideal matters that much for short runs, I'd guess that RFI in the environment or the type of jitter rejection in the DAC (e.g. an asynchronous sample rate converter vs., say, a big buffer) would have more of an effect.

You're basically shooting down Commuteman's idea about the 75 ohm ideal and then advancing your idea over his by suggesting that yours is the more likely.

What I'm confused about is how this squares with what you said just yesterday:

When brainstorming, we need to hold all criticism back and let the ideas flow. They trigger new ideas in others and progress is made. At some point a more structured weeding of ideas needs to take place but doing it too early is just counter productive.

Your reply to Commuteman seems to be completely contrary to this.
