Like yourself, I use my second system the most. I am running a Parasound Halo Integrated, Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers, Sony HAPZ1ES Media Server, Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport (for those round shiny silver things), a Magnum Dynalab MD90 Tuner all plugged into s Shunyata outlets. I use a Furutech TP-80 Conditioner and a mishmash of 2 Shunyata Diamondback Platinum Power Cords, some Pangea AC14 cords and a Furutech cord. My speaker cables and interconnects are Groneberg Quattro Reference, Digital cable is a Wireworld Starlight 7.
I get a truly wonderful and satisfying sound on this system which is about 75% cheaper than my main system. Previously to using the Halo Integrated, I was using a Rogue Cronus Magnum Integrated. Although I am truly a tube guy, I like the Halo Way better. The built in dac is excellent as I run the CD transport through it. I am extremely satisfied with the Parasound Halo, and I absolutely LOVE having Bass and Treble controls. It really helps those unplayable cd's become enjoyable.
I have no experience with the Musical Fidelity amp, but the dac in the Parasound Halo is light years better than the Musical Fidelity V-90 dac.
