Storx, as you would have found in your research, trying to eliminate RFI noise is a dark art. As a possible solution (not trying to waste your money), have a look at something like this...

As Americanaudiophile says, just because they work on one computer with no problems doesn't rule out that it could be a groundloop or other interference. Unless they were 2 identical computers, there will be quite a few components that could be adding to the problem. He has linked to a good...

You can get optical cable that length eg http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=6735 and the beauty of going the digital route is that there will be no signal loss/interference at all over that distance.

It's really a question that you should be asking the source creators. They are the ones that decide which audio is being used. As to one being better than the other, well if a audio stream is properly decoded, I'd like to see a person in blind tests hear the difference.

I'll assume they are still in warranty? If so contact Sony support via email and be guided by them.
