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.

Mr._Mom,

You said I "undermined" your opinion as though I’m not entitled to my own, as though I should’ve consulted you first. So who is the one not respecting opinions? I had made no personal reference to you or your opinion in my original post. In contrast, you responded to my post with a snarky comment insinuating that my opinion is bunk based on the claims of Rogue employees.

I don’t know about you, but I live in a country that has freedom of speech. Further, I’m fairly certain you’re not in charge of this forum, nor do I work for you. To say someone "undermined" your opinion shows you have a seriously demented view or your role here.

Anyway, you haven’t heard jack or you’d know the Pharaoh doesn’t sound anything like a decent tube amp and it’s not remotely in the same ball park.

Helomech.
Please grow up. I do not have the time or inclination to get into a petty argument with you. End of discussion, over and out.....

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)
