I own the D100 it’s almost the same except that the D150 can read DSD , higher bit and has special load for the McIntosh SACD  transport. I am using it as a DAC and as a digital pre for my MC152 power amp and the sound is amazing : detailed, trans... 
McInTosh D150
As a standalone DAC  Bryston and Schiit are better than the McIntosh but if you are looking for a pre and  DAC All in one the McIntosh is undoubtedly a great value for money you have to struggle to find something similar in this price level.

Proac Response D40R or D48R
After 50 hours  approx  it will start to open up and sounds good , The full break in period is about 500 hours then the D48R should really shine at their full potential.

What is your  amplification? Listening room size ?

Good speakers and good system should reveal immediately bad recordings and there's nothing you can do about it, If you are looking for speakers that can avoid it or trying to mask faults in recordings you are going on the wrong route.  
Proac Response D40R or D48R
No ,the new D48 doesn't come with Proac emblem on the drivers.The break in period of Proac speakers is very long about 500 hours, I remember that it took me more than half a year for my Studio 148 to open up and perform at their best.
