Suggestion on XLR Cables
I agree with marcyun that so far I've heard very little difference in XLR Cables unlike RCA's where there are significant differences. As mentioned for little money the Canare are good. For a bit more the Solid Silver or Silver Litz XLR's from Sun... 
Maybe tube preamp
If you havn't got a tube Pre-Amp you are missing out badly.A Vincent SA-T8 if you are lucky enough to find one. 
DAC Opamp Upgrade
Hi zipiv,I've had a positive experience with Burson upgrades. I had an old Rotel RCD-991 which I couldn't listen to, (I have 7 spinners). After doing some research about 3 or 4 year ago I took the player to CVE (Melbourne, Aust.)who do the Burson ... 
Have ~$10-12k...what would you do?
I'll try again.@skiroe The SA-T8 is fully balanced. The SA-T7 has a built in Dac, so it appears Vincent have put out an all rounder rather than a dedicated Pre-Amp. I am familiar with Sonic Frontiers. The 2 box Pre. I think SFL-2. Nice and a quali...

Have ~$10-12k...what would you do?
@skiroe The SA-T8 has been replaced by the SA-T7. I havn't heard the SA-T7 personally, but a friend has heard both and prefers the SA-T8. I find it puzzling that the SA-T8 is a fully balanced Pre. and Vincent chose to replace it with the SA-T7 whi... 
Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?
The OP is after quality Redbook CD playback. IME a standalone Oppo is unable to provide that. 
Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player?
Much better off purchasing a more recent CD Player. Sound quality wise and you would think longevity wise will be a much saner purchase. For eg. a Vincent CD-S8 wipes the floor over those older ARC models and the like in sound reproduction.  
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Excellent bondmanp. Received a batch of CD's yesterday, so had a long listening session. The SP7's have really settled in nicely, getting bass reproduction I never thought was possible from CD playback. I've tried a few different combo's and the S... 
Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2
Personally I'd be getting a good tube or hybrid Pre-Amp. The Oppo's I've heard direct to Power Amps sound like (to put it nicely) crap. Put half your budget into a good Pre. and half into a Power Amp and you will get a better result than all your ...

Or on the other hand, making a very fine product at a very cost effective price. I know I am far better off for purchasing these and getting better sound is what we should all be aiming for. 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Don't know, don't really care. They transfer the signal superbly and that's all that really matters.

I respect your principals 213runnin. Yes there are quite a lot of Chinese clones. But I have to say these MS Audio Silver Litz RCA's are the real deal. Bested my other best RCA's, Phono to Pre., CD to pre., Pre. to Power on many different componen...

Good luck with your next purchase bondmanp. Keep us posted.
