Is my Amp OK?

I recently bought brand new speakers - Revel f208. Using them with Cary Audio DMS-500 DAC and Rotel RB-1590.

While I love the sound I am getting, and I am 100% sure the speakers and DAC are great, I feel that I can do better with the Amp. True? If so, what do I get to replace the Rotel RB-1590?

@audioconnection  yes I have. The Parasound Halo P5. I felt it worked better without P5. It sounded like a veil was lifted when removing the Parasound. I just sold the P5 here

Can you try a Rotel Pre amp for better coherent matching?
