Sonus Faber Liuto Monitor vs Cremona Auditor M
I think the Auditor M are great speakers.  A surprisingly good sounding monitor.  I like them more than the O1... Though I have the O3. 
XLR and DBS (Audioquest)
I have aq wel w DBS speaker cables and they are fantastic.  I would like to see what happens if I disconnect the DBS however... 
Audioquest
I do like Aq.  I have their speaker wire as well and have no desire to change. 
B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II
I enjoy my 802D3 so I am a fan.  I am not familiar with the MA Platinum so I cannot help you there. Best of luck 
Is Classe AUdio no longer???
No more delta amps and preamps... 
2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K

CAPCongrats on such a fine system, definitely you are the bleeding edge of audio reproduction. I have not experienced the level of DACs you have in question, I am currently with Emm Labs stack, but nothing like yours. I would also consult with Iva... 
Synergistic Research Tungsten IC... any experience
Hey CAPAQ Sky I believe is 2 generations back. I believe it was replaced by the Niagara PSS and then the Wind PSS (or is it the Fire PSS). SOmeone correct me. I think the differences between the newest PSS Wind/Fire and the Sky would be perceptibl...

Hey CAPI'll get a hold of Ken. I've gone back to AQ, Mike bought my only pair of SR.
