Cables for low power amps and Horns?
When I rewired my Lowther DX4 Medallion II with DNM Precision wire I nearly fell out of my chair. Excellent wire and not at all expensive. Don't let the low cost fool you. These wires brought the sound quality to a whole new level. Clarity, pace, ...

Thanks for the tip on the Musical Fidelity PSU 
DSpeaker Anti Mode Dual Core 2.0 Room Correction
I use a 12v battery ps on mine and found that it sounds much better than the supplied wall wort. I use my Dual Core as a Dac-Preamp. The D/C sounds less "hard" with better sound stage, and imaging. I would highly recommend looking into an upgraded... 
Help Choosing DAC
The Dspeaker Antimode Dual Core 2.0 ($1200.00) is a preamp with a built in dac and room correction. You will need an outboard device for streaming, but the D/C does have a USB input. Match the USB input with an IFi IUSB ($200.00) and run the D/C w... 
Wanted Preamp
Very pleased with my Dspeaker Antimode Dual Core 2.0 
Digital Or Traditional Preamp?
I can't comment on any of your choices except the Dual Core which I am using as a pre amp, dac, and room correction device. I have had a few different passive preamps, ss preamps, and an Audio Note Kits M3 preamp, and truly love what the Dual Core... 
Need recommendation for preamp/dac.
I'm using a Dspeaker Antimode Dual Core 2.0 as a preamp, dac, and room correction device. I run my 2.2 speaker system by using an XLR-RCA (DNM HFTN) cable for my 2 channel amp and the RCA Outs are run to my subs. The Dual Core has USB input for yo...

New speakers.
OK, If my conversions are correct you are looking for a speaker set up in the $4800 - $9000 range?That will work well with your AMR and Pass labs XA30.5 amp?Just so happens that I first listened to Shelby + Kroll Monitors and Woofer Monitor with a... 
Do Toslink Coaxial adapters work well or .......
The MSB Digital Director is a good way to go. MSB no longer makes them, but one can be had on the used market for about $100.00. My situation is a little different than yours where my transport is coax and the digital input on my Dspeaker Dual cor... 
Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging
Definitely check out the Shelby+Kroll Nano monitors. No matter where you sit they sound great and the soundstage never collapses. I'm starting to sound like a broken record but more people need to hear these speakersCompletely agree! The Shelby + ... 
Adding Tone Controls?
If not you would still have to use the DSPeaker in an analog processor/tape loop, since its only digital input is optical. I'm using a MSB Digital Director to convert from Coax to Optical into my Dual Core. I have the same issue with Coax only fro... 
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
Shelby + Kroll Nano Monitors with a matching Woofer Monitor! Very "sexy" and I have been listening to them for about 1.5 years and love what they do. Great detail with a huge side to side and front to back soundstage. I'm using SS amplification an...
