Daisy chaining switches

[Taiyaki]

I know everyone does it, but has anyone ever found a loss in quality in the switch furthest from the display (assuming minimal length added, let's say 1~2ft for the daisy cable)?

I was asking myself whether the consoles in the furthest switch are suffering any kind of loss when using quality cables and switches.

Also I was wondering whether instead of having 2x gscartsw daisychained into a Scart to component encoder (retrotink) and into a component switches (using the audio authority one now a days) results in a less good picture at the furthest gscartsw vs having both gscartsw individually going into 2x separate retrotink scart2comp and into the component switches into different slots.

I know we're probably dealing in micro level detail but curious what you think.

I don't think there should be a problem if they're powered. Take a lossless recording (a repeatable frame of something bandwidth heavy should do) then pull a switch and do the same, then compare the results?

Unfortunately I have no capture equipment to use. But eyeballing on a CRT I see no difference whatsoever but that might not be the best way to judge. I'd like to try photos but none of my cameras capture CRT footage well so it's not helping.
