Hello, All...I am about to purchase the XPA-3 to drive my L/C/R system; however, I need direction with interconnects. What is recommended between my AVR and the XPA-3...digital coaxial rca or analog rca? Suggestions/recommendations? Also, what 3.5mm trigger cable between the AVR and XPA-3 is recommended...I've heard mono is the way to go? Quality/brands? Suggestions welcome! Thanks!!!

I like well built cables with good connectors, BlueJeans Cables are my personal fav for audio. However for the XPA-3 the Emotiva component video set makes a good option (3 different colors), and if you're on a budget Monoprice works fine.

They make some very nice cables for a reasonable cost, and you can get them made to the exact lengths you need.
