using $5 Monoprice coax cable now, what improvements would upgrading bring?

using Oppo BDP 83 to Halo integrated with the cheap coax and hoping to get a step up in sound without spending too much. <$100

suggestions on what to buy?

thanks

Here ya go... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6XL1XW/ref=twister_B01MUH69P1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 40 bucks and a very solid, neutral, and natural sounding digital cable with balanced connectors. If you don't have balanced digital connections on your Oppo and/or Halo you'll need to get some BNC to RCA adapters. Do not buy a true 75-Ohm digital cable without balanced connectors. For $40 you can't go wrong with this.

What improvements would you like to achieve? More detail, richer tone, tighter bass, better imaging/soundstaging, etc.? Considering it's the only interconnect in your system, I'd spend at least a little more than $100 -- it'll be money well spent IMHO. What are you using for speaker cables?
