Best Used DAC for 1000?
Definitely check out the EAD 7000 III d/a, I used it with a PD-65 and it was an excellent performer, plus it has hdcd and anti-jitter. 
Martin Logan CLS 11Z speakers + which power amp?

I had the ET LFT VIIIa's and they are a tremendous speaker for the price, I had them in a room 14'6" x 16'6" and a much smaller room and they worked great, you will need to supply sufficient power to them they love good solid state. 
Krell amps with Magneplanar speakers
You may want to try Bryston 7B's, Legacy Audio Monoblocs, and Rogue Audio 120's. I have tried all three and they all sound superb with the Maggie 3.6's.
