IMO the standard cable is sufficient. if you want to upgrade, I agree with bluejeans or also I suggest audioquest.

Oppo 103 at $499 is a killer bargain and has great sound as a stand alone ced player.

4zoranss-The Tekton Lore and mini Lore are great choices. If it were mine, I would go for the Lore. I am reviewing Tekton's Enzo speaker for TNT-Audio.com. The Enzo looks to be a great performer too but out of your price range so look to the Lore.

Yes the ENZO is new. I am reviewing a pair right now which will appear in an upcoming TNT-Audio.com article. My initial impressions are this speaker is a winner! small footprint and big sound. Stay tuned for more.
