Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp

I’m curious as to how you determined that both your Hegel amp and Dynaudio speakers are both colorless and neutral sounding. Have you listened to them both with other amps and speakers?
I ask because though I have not heard the Dynaudio Focus 160 speakers, nor any Hegel amplifiers, I have heard quite a few Dynaudio speaker models, and I can’t say that I heard any of them sound colorless or neutral. The Dynaudio speakers I have heard, sound full bodied, vibrant and warm.

That said, I don’t know that analog would necessarily improve the warmth in your system. It certainly could, however, much of that would depend on the analog and digital sources that you select. I have heard, and currently own digital and analog gear. Some analog and digital gear sound neutral and colorless, some sound rich and warm.

I think at this point it is best to continue to let your amp and speakers continue to break in. Experiment with speaker placement and toe in. Experiment with room treatment.
If you still feel that the sound is too neutral or transparent for your tastes 2 or 3 months from now, then maybe you could consider trying a different source, either analog or digital.

"I've just acquired a Hegel H160 integrated along with a pair of Dynaudio Focus 160 speakers ... The amp is quite colorless and neutral, as are the speakers ... if I connected a turntable, cartridge, and phono stage combination that, taken together, presented a decidedly warm sonic signature, would this warmth be conveyed by the amp and speakers to my ears?

By definition, if you have a neutral system and you feed it a warm signal, you'll get a warm result.

jmcgrogan2  +1  You need to allow a couple of hundred hours for the caps to burn-in and the drivers to break-in before any critical listening. To help achieve a warmer, organic presentation, I highly recommend this Sablon power cord. I’m surprised that it’s still available.

I would guess that for now your system sounds lifeless and incoherent, not colorless and neutral, which is an abstraction. Also, colored and colorful are totally different things, the former is bad, the latter is good.
Analog can also sound cold and uninviting, it depends, including on the recording. But, yes, good analog source brings out the best in amps and speakers.

It's just my perception that this combination sounds very neutral having just transitioned from a Rega integrated and Acarian Alon loudspeakers that sounded like honey on a stick in comparison. I've only got 100 hours on the new gear, so yes, it's still early... I will continue the break in process.

@rodman99999 Thanks for the tube recommendations.

@jmcgrogan2 I'd be really interested to know which digital sources you'd describe as rich and warm.
