DIGIMAX to DIGI 001 (Clock or jitter problems?)

I’ve been learning a lot reading your posts here guys.
So, first of all, I should say THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE AT THIS FORUM.
But I need an advice.
I have a DIGI 001 at my home studio and I am planning to buy a DIGIMAX (PreSonus) to improve the number of available inputs I can record at once (8 analogs + 8 digital).

External Clocking, Jitter and Sound Revisited

In the new issue of Tape Op, Bob Katz of Digital Domain states that "99 times out of 100, the INTERNAL clock in a converter will produce lower jitter and thus better sound than if you clock that converter externally from the most stable wordclock generator in the world! The reason: A crystal oscillator is much stabler than a phase locked loop.

Word clock cable length?

Hi.
OK, I am getting a Lucid Genx-6, to use as a word clock source for two PC's running hammerfalls, a Yamaha AW4416, and external converters.

My question is, should all the cables from the Genx-6 be the same length (in which case they would all have to be 3 metres), or can I have different lengths varying from 50cm or 1 metre, up to three metres?

thanks
