Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???

I've been having a blast looking up threads and doing some research but my dilemma is this - I want to get more enjoyment out of my music (don't we all). My Anthem and Oppo setup honestly sound great but I can't help but think that maybe I am missing out. I am thinking of upgrading some of my gear by either adding an integrated amp or separates. I'd love to hear some recommendations. Based on some reading, I am considering: 

1. Parasound Halo Integrated 6
2. Primaluna Dialogue Premium or Premium HP

My current setup is as follows: 

Oppo 105D
Anthem MRX 510 AVR
Ascend Acoustic Sierra RAAL Towers and Horizon Center

Any recommendations or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Let's not let this conversation deviate. I appreciate everyone's comments here. 

Right now, I think it is down to... 
    1. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP ($4.4)
    2. Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II ($2.5) or Pharaoh ($3.5)
    3. Line Magnetic 508ia (used for around $3.5-4)
    4. McIntosh MA5300 ($5)
    5. Naim XS 2 ($3.7) or Supernait 2 ($5.7)
    6. Audio Research VSI75 ($5)

My local dealer provided some fantastic customer service and gave me the LM 805ia to demo at home. Looking forward to listening to this amp extensively!

Primaluna amps have great mids but lack somewhat in the low and high frequencies. I feel that the Rogue Cronos Magnum II is a better amp. The Parasound Hint 6 is also excellent
