3 sets of premium RCA cables will do you nicely. I personally use 1 set of their composite cables and one set of their component cables.

Doesn't that leave you one cable shy?

Ken is right, 3 sets will do the trick. No special cables necessary just regular audio cables will work just fine.

Which player did you have in mind? I have an Oppo-980. Video is pretty lame (I'm sure the others, more expensive Oppo are better for video), but for the price, the audio of SACD & DVD-A are rendered beautifully. I'm using HDMI for multich PCM.

I'm curious as to what you mean by "pretty lame". I have the 980 and it's as good as any other DVD player I've had. Mind you, I only have a 480p projector so haven't seen any of it's upscaling abilities, if that is what you were referring to. I also mainly bought it for it's SACD/DVD-A capabilities.

I also bought the 980 only for the music; but at some point I thought I would put my "LG" to rest and spare an HDMI connection (I'm all out!). I was very disapointed. Actually, I thought so far that my LG upscaler was my weakest (the other being an HD-A30), but I quickly brought it back in!
My recommendation to everyone looking for Oppo is always: if you care about the video, the 981 and such are probably worth the extra 50-100$.
Nevertheless, for audio, to have a great player sending multich and DSD through HDMI for less than 200$, the 980 is quite simply amazing. So I am very happy with the 980.

For SACD, I have been real happy with the Pio DV48. Even does DSD over HDMI.
