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.

You can get the Universal RFS200 that does RF that you can get for 70 bucks. It's a full learning remote so will learn any component it doesn't already have, and it's built to last (I've been using an older model for 15 years with no problem). The Harmony remotes are good, but two of my friends who bought them both had them crap out in the first year (and I've heard others complain of reliability issues as well). If that's something that would concern you the RFS200 might be another option worth a look. Best of luck.
