Pro Logic vs. Dolby Digital, DTS etc
Prehaps you should look at a Vantas product that turnes your Pro Logic to DD. I think you can get 1 for 200-400 bucks at the most. See if you like it. It may do the trick. 
CD Players that transmit 24bit/96kHz
I beleive my Electrocompaniet Emc-1 does. it has a Coax cable out put on it. 
Interconnect recommendations??
I have a pair of Used Tara Labs Air 2. That I'm not using anymore. I swithched to Pass Amps and I'm going Balanced. I can't remember what I paid, but I'll let them go for $250.00. Email me at Brianw@cpijob.com. We can work something out on Escrow ... 
INTERCONNECT-advice from knowers!
I have never tired XLO speaker cable. But I do like the interconnects and how they match with Audioquest Argent Speaker Cable. Like I said I was using AudioQuest and Tara, interconnects, but I found I liked the XLO interconnect better, it was much...

Long interconnect is the way to go. The reason many interconnect are shielded and can block out any RF and noise where speaker cable may not.

Best system for ROMANCE
I like YBA's lower end stuff in the Audio Refinement brand name. It's very warm, CD palyer is about $800.00 and Intergrated amp is about $900.00. Leaving enough money for good speakers and cables. 
Any advice on CD player upgrade?
Take a look at a YBA CD player. They use a patented Blue Laser technology that is getting really good reveiws. 
home made speaker cable vs. the big boys
Prehaps this is getting off track but I have to agree with the people saying cable prices are clearly robbing people. I worked for a (non audio) producing cable company and we sold Aero-Spec spec'd (teflon) cables to end users at about $3.00 dolla...

Problem with inputs
Thanks for your follow-up. I took the top off, and played with input board a little. The ground was broke in the board so I took it to a B&K dealer, I should get it back today.

My first suggestion is a Pass Aleph 3($1100) and my second would be a YBA.
