I use an Audioquest top of the line Sky interconnect with great results. I just switched to the latest Ridge Street Audio Design Poiema III signature interconnect. It takes no time to break in because it gets cooked on the Audiodharma before it is shipped! This is a new feature offered by the company. It has been in my system for 11 days and I will do a comparison today or tomorrow. It bested the AQ Cheetah(2nd best) when I auditioned it in December. These evaluations are with speaker cables from the same company.
BTW, the Poiema gets matched to the spec of the APL. I don't know how much this effects the outcome, but it could not hurt...
Good luck with your unit. When you get your ic's and pc's, you will be going direct at least part of the time. It really lowers the noise floor and allows more detail to emerge. I exclusively go direct, but I know at least one owner who splits the action depending on cd selection.
