I want to upgrade to the 622 in the living room and move the 921 to the bedroom, but 921 is too loud to be put in the bedroom. So I thought about installing it in the study, requiring about 25' of cable.

Does anybody have any experience running DVI or Y/Pb/Pr and optical or RCA this far?

With heavier gauge cabling, you should be able to get as far as 9 meters. These cables will be very expensive. Whether or not it works in your environment is a crap shoot.
