Parasound Hint 6 or separates?

The only advantage IMO is if you wish to change the preamp or amp in the future, some claim separates sound better but that's never been true for me. . I've had both separates and integrated I prefer integrated,  less clutter. 

Thanks, that has been my experience as well, along with saving a bunch on the extra power cord and set of interconnects for separates. But I want to explore all options before buying the Hint.

I have had both, though I went with the A21 vs A23. The separates vs the int were very close with the exception of the power of the a21. Sonically they were pretty much the same with maybe a bit more air with the separates. Either way, I really believe they are hard to beat in either guise for the $$$$.

I haven't heard the separates but I do have the Hint 6 and really liking it.
