After last nights release of the HaswellHelper utility (thanks for that Tony!), I decided to give it a go to what I got working so far, and what simply isn't working. The idea is for me to update this thread bit by bit once I got more stuff working!
The Hardware:
Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H Rev 1 F6 Firmware
Intel i7 4770K (running stock for now)
MSI GTX770
OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
Software: Macos X 10.8.4
BIOS Settings:
I went with default out-of-the-box settings but disabled the marvell controller and wake on ethernet.
Intel SATA Controller:
Use this one, and this one only. I ran into a lot of problems (read: crashes) with the marvell controller. Connecting the boot disk to SATA Port 1 as I experienced a lot of crashes when disk OI went up a lot when it was connected to SATA Port 0. I didn't use SATA port 0 at all for this matter. Don't ask me why this is, for some reason the system became 1000% more stable when I did this.
The installation:
This one is pretty straight forward. Follow the guide. Once you get to the multibeast part, make sure install GraphicEnabler=No as well.
Audio:
Thanks to toleda and fussel for linking the this page!
Getting stuff to work:
You can use multibeast to install some more stuff. I've installed the Intel Network driver and fakesmc plugins.
Stuff that's NOT working:
Audio:
This is the ACL898, from what I've read about it, this thing has been (and is?) a pain in the ass. It's working but there is this static blip coming trough the speakers ever so now and then if you connect the speakers to the green port. In my case, connecting the speakers (2-way) to the orange or black port worked a lot better although you cannot control the volume then.
Second network port and teaming:
While there is a kext for it which works perfectly and enables the port as solo ethernet port (I've attached it), teaming doesn't work and will crash your system as soon as you try to apply the network settings.
iCloud:
I cannot connect to iCloud, however some people can.
Will keep this thread updated whenever I fixed something

You have confirmed what is already known; no sound on X79 with the ML AppleHDA.kext. See Interim Realtek Ivy Bridge Lion AppleHDA.
1. Delete S/L/E/AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler1.kext
2. Download the Interim AppleHDA.kext.
3. Download MultiBeast 4.6.1 and KextBeast
4. Run Multibeast 4.6.1/Drivers & Bootloaders/Kexts & Enablers/Audio/Realtek ALC8xx/ and select:Non-DSDT Enabler/ALC898
5. Copy Interim AppleHDA.kext to Desktop
6. Run KextBeast.
7. Reastart
