Elizabeth, you completely gone the other way of what Aberyclark was saying. He said Video quality only(audio conversion and your Oppo 83 player is a different subject for another day). What's with the Oppo 83, this subject was beaten to death ever... 
B&W 804S vs Def Tech Mythos ST

Do I have a balanced system?
Put them all on one scale, the only thing that's not balance here is your head, I think. The mind is a terrible thing to get messed up here, that's the reason why the so called "Upgrade Bug" it's all in our heads. Just sit back and enjoyed the mus... 
Pass Labs X250.5 or X350.5 ?
Zenieth, how could you declared that the X250.5 is better than the X350.5 when they both have identical built? one is being more powerful than the other, what else do I missed here? Or did you mean the X250.5 is better than the X350? 
IC upgrade advice - Lost
if you want to stick with AQ, then the cable for you right now would be the Columbia. I listened to them a short time awhile back, warm sounding cables. The standard DBS is a pair of 48, but if you could find a pair with 72DBS is even better, more...

Proceed AVP2 will solve all your worries. Read the reviews on the unit, if 2 channel is your main goal, then this is the way to go.

No sound from cdp.
What kind of connector do you used? Coaxial or Optical for the audio output? If it's either one of those and you put in a SACD labeled CD's then you will get absolutely no sound, because SACD used only analog outputs, get a pair of RCA cables and ... 
Amp sounds thin
Did you buy it new or used? If it's new, give it at least 40-60 hours of burned in time before judging it. Classe amps have been known for warm sounding and a good match with B&W speakers. Nothing sounds good right out of the box, IC cables an... 
Help Proceed AVP2 fuse burn out
Be careful sending the unit back to Proceed for repair if you have to, I hope you never have to though. They will initially charged you $600 and the repair fee will be extra. 
Help Proceed AVP2 fuse burn out
There's only ONE fuse in my AVP2, I don't know where you got the other one? My is a small 2A slow-blow a few inches from the AC input. What size did you replaced your with? 
Synergistic Designer Reference Cables? character..
I have listened to both the IC XLR and Digital of these cables. Very smooth laid back sound, they're the opposite of Cardas Golden Reference in my view. Cardas are one of the most neutral IC you can find. You make the call depending on your taste.
