My experience has been that Musical Fidelity amps have exceptionally nice sound quality, while
Parasound products are much less so.
A few Parasound products are fairly good and some not very good at all, IMO.

so i had a HINT, the last interation. i sold it and bought an ayre ax-5 twenty. i had buyers remorse, the parasound HINT sounds extremely close to the ayre at a fraction of the price. that said, i used the HINT with a chord hugo TT dac and will say it was/is vastly superior to the dac in the HINT. ive only heard MF at shows but can say that the Parasound as an integrated sounds fantastic if using a separate dac. its a great product.
