Parasound P5, Nad C165 or integrated amp?

Hi, I am in between the Parasound Halo P5 or the Nad C165Bee. This will be used for vinyl cd/SACD only. Which one Do you think suites better? It is going to be used with a 50-70 watt Nad or Parasound amplifier and a pair of Atlantic technology At-1 or AT-2's.
If I'm going for an integrated system, I like the Arcam A19, Creek 50A or the Yamaha A-S2000. Would you go for a separate or an integrated system taking into consideration the ones listed here? Do you think this would make any sound improvement over my current sound system: Nad 326bee, Nad 245bee 4 channel amp (for biamping a pair of PSB's Image T6), Nad C446bee cd player, Nad C446 media streamer and a Musical Fidelity M1DAC?
Thanks for your help..

Hi. Believe it or not I have exactly the same NAD system in one room, and the Arcam A19 with a pair of AT-2's, Arcam CD38 and a Pro-Ject Expression turntable (everything from the Arcam system interconnected with Kimber Heroes and Silver Streak cables) in another room.
Even with the PSB T6 speakers or the AT-1's biwired, I feel the Arcam sounds better. To me, this is the perfect system for a medium size room.
-Regards.
