I found the dragonflies work great. Very smooth sounding Dac especially for the price. Unfortunately the nature of a desktop setup is that they're not going to sound that good until you actually get them off the desk, that's why I went with the setup I currently have bookshelf speakers on stands next to the desk. I've had audioengine speakers, while they're good speakers, I wouldn't waste any money on cabling the they aren't really good enough for it to make a difference, especially on a desktop. Plus only one speaker would be affected when you replace the speaker wire. I would definitely consider something like an LS50, also check out some of the new model KEF speakers and look into the dynaudio powered stuff some of it sounded great when I listened to it.
