I currently use my Rotel pre amp headphone out for my night time music listening, to try and be a good neighbour excellent!

I think I would benefit from a dedicated headphone amp (looking at Graham slee). I have Senn 650's, grado 325si's and AT ATH-M50's

I think the best way is too run an interconnect from my pre amp (tape out) to the headphone amp, the cable would need to be about 5-6 metres in length, to run around the room to the table next to the sofa.

Is this length acceptable, or would there be too much loss in quality?

Audioquest makes interconnects that go 5 to 8 metres at $56 to $71 USD for the cheapest version they have. If I were going that distance I would have a talk with them or a distributor like Needle Doctor.
