Have have you looked at the Musical Fidelity Encore line.  The software is MUCH better than when it launched.  The M6s Encore Connect is $4500.  It is a nice unit and MFs amp profile will fit your taste.

Of your list above, I am a big fan of Simaudio and the mind system works well.  Software is strong and the sound profile is also ideal.   

Full disclosure, I am an MF dealer so I am a bit biased.  I have no relationship with SimAudio.  Good weekend to but though.  Lots of retailers with deals this weekend.

The new Elac DPA- 2 and DDP-2 are well worth checking out. Enjoy the music just reviewed the DDP-2 $4k the pair! Add a second amp ($1499) and have a totally killer system

I have used the Devialet for 4 years. Neutral sound, very versatile. Also looks good. You can easily configure to your setup. It is upgradeable, I have had mine upgraded a couple of times. I have used it with B&W804D speakers. I recently upgraded my speakers to Avangarde DuoXD. I was concerned over the match with the Devialet, and thought I might need to upgrade but I test drove it extensively at the dealers and we were pleased with how they worked together.

As a one-box solution it is great and I am very happy with it as such. I am however thinking of moving to a stand-alone DAC. In the case the Devialet is not ideal - it converts all incoming analog signals to digital via an ADC, and then converts back to analog via its own DAC before sending to the amp - so I would lose whatever I gained via the external DAC.
