Now back to reality...I had great sucess with Spendor and the MF A5 Int/CD combo...the S5e's were not to my taste scale wise, but might be a great match if you have a small room.
I own the MF A5 CDP and used to run it with the A5 integrated. All of my wiring was Nordost Red Dawn, but recently switched the CDP to Preamp wire to Audience AU24. Both are great...but I think wiring is more an issue of Speaker selection then component's used. The good news is that Nordost RD has dropped into resonable pricing since the new models have rolled out. Great system...would love to hear those speakers!
