Improving sound quality of streaming setup
Def need a DAC. I've not tried a reclocker so I can't comment on that but taking the optical signal from the airport express into a good DAC would make a big improvement the airport express sounds horrible via analog out in my opinion. 
Streaming music thru Apple TV or digital player
I was looking at the empirical audio reclocker. It has a money back for 30 days guarantee. 
Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre
I own the benchmark and have done just this with a pair of quad self powered monitors. Sounds pretty good. Though depending on what you were thinking of spending on speakers you may be able to get into a set of dynaudio xeo 3 speakers. Check them ... 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
Oh and I owned a discovery for a couple years. Worst vehicle I ever owned. 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
You are getting close to Porsche Cayenne territory and nothing not even the range rover can touch that bad boy IMHO. I test drove everything out there and there is no comparison. 
Streaming music thru Apple TV or digital player
I haven't directly compared to the Bryston player but Apple TV is pretty good not quite as good as direct USB connection to my DAC but its certainly no slouch. They say a reclocker put between the Apple TV and the DAC makes a big improvement thoug... 
JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston andra 3 ? anyone?
These are all great speakers its going to be a matter of personal taste. I personally don't care as much for the focal speaker though others love that presentation. The dynaudio and eggleston have a similar sound I far prefer the look of the dynau...

ASI Liveline...Burn-In Experience
I have had the liveline interconnect and power cord in various systems for a few years now. Initially I thought the liveline was very good better than my ref cable at the time the jaden pursang s. a few months back I bought a set of Grover huffman... 
Replacement for Maggie's?
I'm no Maggie lover I've had the 1.6 and 3.6 I found both to be very frustrating, they had good qualities but what they did wrong I just could not get over. Lack of bass is a major issue for me too just a weak sound in terms of dynamics in general... 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
Another option might be what was suggested. A power amp and a DAC direct to it. I have a PS Audio PW 2 and it sounds better slightly direct to amp than through my expensive preamp. I would think something like that would give you the biggest bang ... 
Best "Giant Killer" Value Cables For...
I would add Grover Huffman cables to your list. I tried a set of the interconnect and heavily preferred it to a cable at 10X it's price. He got a couple reviews that basically said the same thing, his cables compete with cables at any price. 
Revel Utopia speaker delamination
I think you mean Ultima Gem not utopia
