Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts?
I have the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac. It is one of the most analog and natural sounding dacs I've heard. The reviewer said the same thing and I totally agree. 
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change?
If you replace the cables with OCC single Crystal wire that would be a big improvement over OFC fractured copper that you're using now. 
Which Speaker
Unfortunately all those speakers you've listed are way better than your apps or receivers that you've listed. 
Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II
The monitor audio platinum series is one of the most neutral speakers I've heard to date that's why I love them they just give you whatever you're playing and if your front end is crappy then that's what you'll get coming out of the speakers crap.... 
Monitor Audio Platnium II
The monitor audio platinum's are world-class speakers the paradigm persona are definitely not. I have the platinum 200 generation 2 and I haven't heard anything at three or four times the price that's better.
