When linking the master 16.9344MHz signal to the player should I be using a twisted pair or co,ax cable?

75ohm coax cable is best. However, if the connection is going to be less than say 15cm (6inches) then a short run of a tightly twisted pair of 35awg wire will do the job.

I'm gonna get the clock signal as close as I can to the dac chip.I've also gotta link the s/pdif output as well.
