Integrated amplifier search

I’m currently using a Parasound Halo Integrated.  The rest of my system consists of Clearwave Definition Be loudspeakers, VPI Traveler turntable, and Parasound T3 tuner.  Most of my critical listening is done from my iPhone into the DAC of the Parasound.

i very much enjoy the Integrated, but I’m curious if there is something in a smaller package that offers the same functionality and quality as the Parasound.  For a while, I looked carefully at the Peachtree Nova 150.  It’s intriguing, but I’m concerned I won’t maintain the level of sound quality I have now. 

Any thoughts on other Integrateds I should consider?

Just a word of warning on going with Naim, you will open up a Pandora's box of  specialty cables and accessories that are not transferable to any other brand. Naim uses their own DIN cables FYI. 
Sound quality aside Naim doesn't play well with others so to speak. you need cables that convert from Naim DIN to RCA for example. So unless you going down that path hard I'd say stay away. This is from my own personnel experience. That's Said its sound quality- ease of use is top notch.
