Please feel free to share your experience with the higher end products of these brands and add some others that you know.
Some of these products are extremely expensive and not always worth it therefore let's discuss about them.

Have you taken a look at Cary Audio?

I don't think Cary Audio makes reference level gear ?

Price doesn't always mean better! 

I concur but someone using $50K worth of amps might not be using a $2K DAC in his system just to give an example.
Coherence in gear choice is very important in one's system.
