Self powered speakers for Benchmark Dac1 Pre
I own the benchmark and have done just this with a pair of quad self powered monitors. Sounds pretty good. Though depending on what you were thinking of spending on speakers you may be able to get into a set of dynaudio xeo 3 speakers. Check them ... 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
Oh and I owned a discovery for a couple years. Worst vehicle I ever owned. 
Opinions on Land Rover LR2
You are getting close to Porsche Cayenne territory and nothing not even the range rover can touch that bad boy IMHO. I test drove everything out there and there is no comparison. 
Streaming music thru Apple TV or digital player
I haven't directly compared to the Bryston player but Apple TV is pretty good not quite as good as direct USB connection to my DAC but its certainly no slouch. They say a reclocker put between the Apple TV and the DAC makes a big improvement thoug... 
JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston andra 3 ? anyone?
These are all great speakers its going to be a matter of personal taste. I personally don't care as much for the focal speaker though others love that presentation. The dynaudio and eggleston have a similar sound I far prefer the look of the dynau...

Replacement for Maggie's?
I'm no Maggie lover I've had the 1.6 and 3.6 I found both to be very frustrating, they had good qualities but what they did wrong I just could not get over. Lack of bass is a major issue for me too just a weak sound in terms of dynamics in general... 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
Another option might be what was suggested. A power amp and a DAC direct to it. I have a PS Audio PW 2 and it sounds better slightly direct to amp than through my expensive preamp. I would think something like that would give you the biggest bang ... 
Best "Giant Killer" Value Cables For...
I would add Grover Huffman cables to your list. I tried a set of the interconnect and heavily preferred it to a cable at 10X it's price. He got a couple reviews that basically said the same thing, his cables compete with cables at any price.

Wait until you get good and knowing al, the ins and outs of remote for iPhone or iPad and then apple will Change it and take away all the things you liked about it. It was really important to me to be able to pull my phone out and rate music quick... 
Using the PerfectWave DAC MK II
I bought one a few months back. I was using the Bryston BDA 1 and Benchmark DAC before. The PS audio is quite noticeably better it seems like you get a lot for your money. It sounds really good direct to the amp a bit better than through the pream...
