When the analog signal degrades it still maintains a high level of information compared to a degrading digital signal. Compare that with a lithium Ion Battery driven tool and an older NiCad driven tool. The Nicad performance degrades slowly and in case of a drill you might manage to squeeze one or two of those last holes out of the tool. The digitally controlled Li battery will stop form one moment to the other.
So, analog becomes gradually more 'fuzzy' and digital either works, or not in a rather catastrophic way. Having that said, the focus is clearly on signal quality. You can either switch to fiberglass transmission with encoders and decoders on either end, or better cables (makes a HUGE HUGE difference!), signal amplifiers, broad band cables with en and de coders. You can reach FAR but the distance comes with a price. 10-20 ft should be doable with cables made for the signals intended. And as expected... those will not come from China and cost money.
