Should be no problem is the signal is at line level (even 'consumer' line
level), your soundcard inputs are balanced and you use the right cables.
Thanks for your advice, Fons! In my case, this is all
consumer-grade equipment, and all the connections are line level
using unbalanced shielded RCA connectors and cables. In that
situation, how much difference would the cable length make? Enough
to warrant rearranging my entire living room?
If in doubt, check using JAAA.
That looks like a useful program! I gather I would use it to see
how much noise and hum my ADC is receiving when there's no audio signal.
