Cary 306 SACD professional - which digital output?
Are you sure it makes sense to buy a separate DAC? Not only will you loose SACD, but I see no why a new DAC will definitely sound as good or better than the one in your Cary. It is, after all, a very well regarded $8000 player. If you can't try th... 
three of a kind

Not all components are good to buy vintage. A vintage tube power amp may work OK for you, but there's no way that I would buy a vintage preamp. 
Aerial 7T vs. Marten Django L

Amplifier Cooling Suggestions?
"01-23-15: SwampwalkerZd- I just tried your suggestion but it didn't work for me. My liquid cables got too cold and froze up ;-) "You bought fake cables. The only cables that I can think of that have liquid in them are from PAD and the liquid cera... 
What speakers for 10k?
"The owner of the company is confident that his speakers will outperform my VA Mozart's and I wont return them."lol. 
Amplifier Cooling Suggestions?
I bought a small refrigerator, put my amp inside it and cut holes in it for the cables. Once the cables are through the fridge, I pack the holes with insulation that gets held in place with tape. You just have to make sure to plug the refrigerator... 
Wilson speakers/to people who own them etc
There has to be some other reason for the post. Wilson speakers, regardless of if you like them or not, are some of the most talked about speakers on this web site. What more info could you possibly want that hasn't already been stated many times ...
