Amp could be 10-15m away from TV - is this too far for a reliable
signal?

I like this idea for getting better quality sound from TV broadcasts,
but I also want to use the amp in 'stand-alone' mode for playing off
a tuner or a CD player (both in node 0 and transmitted over KAT5).
I'd rather not route those signals through the TV (which might not be
on) if possible. How do you handle this situation?
