What cords to use for DVD-Audio?

I've had the new Kenwood Sovereign 5900-M (I think that's the model?) on preorder for almost 2 months now, and it's supposed to be coming out finally in about 2 weeks. This model has internal bass-management (finally!) and holds 400 +3 discs. I have 825 dvds now, so I'll definitely fill it up. It also has some patented progressive-scan technology that's supposed to make dvds look more like HD (which should be sweet on my 65" HDTV). I was wondering what cords to use to hook it up. I have a fiberoptic for the dvd sound, but was wondering if they have a cord yet for the dvd-audio-out or if I have to use a bunch of seperate cables. Before, I heard they didn't make any 6 cord connectors for 5.1. I don't want to use regular RCA jacks, since I use all Monster cables, but what type should I be looking at. Do digital coaxial cables work, or should I just get good quality Monster/RCA cables? Should I get 6 seperate cords, or 2 3-cords, or 3 2-cords?

I know monster makes a 5.1 cable, and I'm willing to bet that audioquest, Kimber, vampire, and just about any other major cable manufacturer will have them as well.

Are you sure the player won't come packed with cables? My JVC PS DVD/DVD Audio player had the cables included, although they're probably not the greatest quality. Whether you could hear any difference by using more expensive cables, I don't know, but it's such a short run from the analog outputs on the receiver to the player that I doubt it's a huge difference.

BTW, the player came with 3 2-cord cables.
