enigma upgrade for kharma
It is a really nice improvement. Especially when it comes to the vividness and bass resolution. Where are you located? The cost is 4k. 
Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
James1969: Yes it does. 
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 or ARC VT-100 MKII???
The SF2 is more musical and less bloaty. That being said, the highs are the only thing that I am not crazy about with the SF amps. They seem to be a tad congested.I do not remember about biasing the SF2's, but I remember it is no fun with the ARC.... 
Opinion on Mark Levinson 33H Monoblocks

Boulder 1050 or 2060 which one is better ?

Anyone heard the new Tenor 150 Hybrids yet?
It is almost an identical sound to the 300 HP monoblocks. If you have extremely inefficient speakers, maybe you would hear a difference.

Review: Emm Labs DCC2 DA converter
Tireguy: Thanks so much for your wondeful comments. I agree completely with most of what you stated. I would say that a good cd transport or cd player going into the DCC2 will still be a HUGE improvement for most people as you do benefit from the ... 
Well Tempered Labs out of business?
Call Transparent Audio... they could tell you. :) 
IO Signature/Steelhead/Arc Reference/ and Colibrì?
I have a great deal of experience with all of the pieces you mention. I am also a dealer for a few. The Colibri is my favorite cartridge...fantastic! My favorite on your list would be the Manley Steelhead for a number of reasons.1. On-the-fly adju... 
Audio aero Capitole MkII
The Capitole works great with all of the amplifiers mentioned.I would worry more about the amplifier / speaker combination.
