Does the serial connection to the amp have to be directly from HA yellow? My HA is not near the amp. But I am using a pi 4 adjacent to the amp to serve as a plex media player. I was hoping to use the usb connection on the pi 4 to connect to the amp. Is this do-able ? I’m confused because the integration says to enter the port number and I started to think well is it the pi 4 port number or the amp. And the pi 4 is connected to HA as a media player if that matters. And it’s running latest raspbian lite. It’s also headless.

"Port" in this context is serial port, not IP port number.
There are a few ways to get serial communication over IP, you can see some options here:

It will require running something on the pi that's connected to the amp.
