Using a receiver as a pre-amp...many questions
maybe class D amp from wyred4sound or bel canto? 
Unison Research Performance integrated amplifier
Not sure about the Performance but I had the Unison S6 before. Nice midrange and high but the bass a bit slow and light for me. 
Most musical integrated amp you have heard?
Unison S6 
Integrated Choice - Down to two
For mostly jazz, female voclas, acoustic, I prefer the Uninson S6 over the Rogue when I compared them side by side in my system. The Unison just gives your more depth, smoother midrange, and sweeter high

Rogue Cronus an upgrade over the PrimaLuna PL1?
I agree with Learsfool. I had a side by side comparison of the cronus magnum and the unison s6. The Rogue doesn't have the lush and sweet that the Unison offers. The Rogue is closei to solid state sound than a typical tube amp. 
Rogue Cronus an upgrade over the PrimaLuna PL1?
If tube rolling doesn't work, I'd suggest a Unison Unico S6. 
Best Integrated, period.
David, I agree. To my ears, I've tried Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3 and Ayre AX-7e with the Usher Dancer Mini 2 and none of them gave me satisfactions as what the Unico S6 SE offers. 
Use power conditioner to turn off amp
The power conditioner is the PS Audio Duet. The Unison Unico S6 integrated amp only can be turned on/off by its power switch. The reason I want to use the Duet to turn on/off the system is I'd like to minimize the wear and tear on the S6's switch ... 
Best Integrated, period.
