For COAX I just use Belden.I forget the Manf. of the Glass TOSLINK someone sent me,but it retailed for around $100.
I found that my old Philips CD80 is better for Redbook CD's so I use that for music.
It is also advisable to use a preamp as the Vol. Controllers used in inexpensive players or any others I know of for that matter make things sound sterile. Those are just my findings though and your finding might be good anough for you.
recently I could not tolerate using CD Direct and had to use a panasonic Digital receiver instead.
The best option for music was using a Passive,but unless you can change the output resistor to a higher value like 6-7v you probably will not have enough gain unless your speakers are super efficient.
Good luck!
