KEF LS50 Wireless Internal vs External DAC ??
I am not a big fan of all-in-one solutions for example this speakers it's usually a compromise and I will never consider such speakers solution ,the best way is regular speakers and seperate dac and streamer unless you are in a limited budget and ... 
Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3
I am not a big fan of any of the brands you mentioned and my recommendation is to look elsewhere into more serious brands like Bryston ,Spendor,ATC or Proac. 
Another Speaker Recommendation Request
You should consider the Proac D48R too. 
Proac Response D30 DS
@milpai,I played many different kind of music and I was overwhelmed by their unfussy nature they just play everything effortlessly in the most faithful and natural way.The D30’s performance come  close to much more expensive speakers I had heard b...

Proac Response D30 DS
My D30SR’s just arrived yesterday they sound very promising and look lovely in Cherry finish,I will write a review soon. 
Better CDP or network player?
You can do both :buy stand alone DAC if I had your system I would buy Bryston DAC and  a CD transport of Cambridge CXC cheap and reliable option. 
Cambridge Azur 851C Upsampling DAC, CD Player & Preamplifier
I heard the 851 couple of times at my dealer showroom and love it.It really capable to deliver great performance much above its price tag.You won’t find better CDP in this price level. 
Transport Accustic Arts
Accustic Arts is a CD player not a pure CD transport since you already have DAC you should look for a pure transport without inner D/A converter such as PS Audio, Simaudio,Cyrus or CEC . 
Cambridge Audio 740 cdp dying...suggested replacement?
Do you have standalone DAC ?

Proac Response D30 DS
If I have the space I definitely buy the D48R so I think will compromise with the D30 SR .With room size of 16x24 you should be OK with the D48.what is your amplification?
