Well it is worth it if you have the money to go all the way.
If you spend a tonne of money on the DVD Audio player and then buy a reasonably priced Amp and speakers, then there is absolutely no point.
If you put money in one part, you have to put it in the other.
Cabling can make a lot of difference as you can sometimes loose treble and bass through cheaper cables.
So make sure you go for good quality speaker cable but also good quality interconnects from amp to CD / DVD player.
Then there is also the positioning of speakers and the size of room to consider but thats another thing to delve into some other time.

lol - no worries there, Halcyon, I'm not in the market for that kind of kit
- I watch telly/video/dvd & listen to cd's using both a dvd/vhs external player feeding a tv card in my pc & a tv tuner/dvd recorder/ cd recorder internal to the pc. Sound is via coax to a dolby 5.1 decoder amp and 5.1 speakers as well as L/R coax to tv tuner card, from the external player, then via sound card to the stereo input on the 5.1 decoder (which simulates 'surround sound' or outputs analogue pro-logic).
- the thing is, it is a really small room, I don't need a big amp to get adequate sound, so the wiring can be a little less 'meaty' to match.
I do take your point about matching high end kit to equally high end connectors, though.
