I whole heartedly agree with fastfreight. You won’t go wrong with the Revel Ultima  Salon2. However you will need a high current powerful amp to fully appreciate them.  
What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?
Revel Ultimate Salon2’s. I’ve had so many speakers over the past 40 years in all price ranges I can’t even keep track of them all. These Salon2’s are about the most musical pair I’ve ever owned.

Best Footers for DAC?
I have found the voodoo isopods to be the best bang for the buck footers out there. 
Power Cords

Clean connections thoroughly with deoxit then apply stabilant 22-good stuff! 
Interconnects
