I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity


About to install a high-end audio system in my office. Problem is it will be behind a structural part of the office where there won't be any direct line of sight to where I will be sitting. Components include a Melody integrated SET, magnum Dynalab 108T triode tuner and the new Oppo 105 when it comes out. Each has its own dedicated remote. I've checked so-called IR universal remotes, but they don't have the codes for my gear. I know Niles makes a few of these, but seems like brain damage to hook up to components that don't provide for this, like the Melody. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the response. That was the first place I checked - they didn't have Magnum Dynalab, so I didn't even bother checking Melody or Oppo. Very frustrating - don't want to have to re-invent the wheel. Surely there exists a workable simple solution that others have found?
Good advice - thanks. The RF functionality is what I need and I believe the 900 can also learn from other remotes. I did finally find the MD and Oppo listed on the Harmony site.

Drrsutliff - did you have to attach anything to your sister's gear or was everything wireless? Thanks.
Decided on a Niles IR repeater. Best solution to retain station name selection on Magnum Dynalab remote. Thanks all for your input.
Discovered MD remote has no screen for channels, therefore also acquired the Harmony 900, to try. The 900 seems less brain damage, but will keep whichever works best, send the other back. The Niles requires hard-wiring from repeater to the control unit in the rack, the 900 does not.
