Will an Amp change improve my system ?

Of the amps you have listed I can vouch for the Coda s5.5  It has 100 amps of high current and should drive the 6 ohm Harbeth easily. It is a very good amp, I love mine. My system is in my user page. What I love about my Coda is it tells you everything that's going on, yet is so sweet and delicate with a midrange tonality I have yet to hear better. (Better than my old VAC amp) I have never heard Harbeth speakers before but I have read that their known for their fantastic midrange. The Coda may work well to bring that out of them for you. Good luck with your search. Reach out to @vinylvalet for info on the Coda if interested, he is a great guy to deal with.

To answer your question, no, an amp will not significantly improve (or hurt) a system regardless of what the sufferers of expectation bias will tell you.

The above should be ignored at all costs. Just silly advice on any level....

@OP order the Schitt Wotan so you get 15 days to try it in your system, it should have synergy with your Freya preamp.

I am a firm believer in keeping everything in the same manufacturer if possible…I would get rid of everything you have and go all in with PS Audio…a full bloom..amp, preamp,Dac, streamer and speakers…you can’t do that with to many manufacturers….other wise stay the same…a different amp won’t help you…

Sure an AMP could (or separates and a pre) but often treating the room is the ticket. Power treatment too.
