The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
It does not run hot, you can place your hand on it and leave it there. I would call Modwright and ask him if will be a good impedance  match, I think RCA is good but XLR can be be issue for some preamps.

Anyone know where to buy a quality LPS for SMSL PL200T
@tweak1  I was responding to the person buying LHY from Aliexpress. Their stuff is usually Gray Market.  LHY do not cost $1000. They start at $249 for a 25 watt, a 50 watt is $394 for example, shipping included.   
I2S Recommendation
FWIW There are 2 RAL HDMI I2s cables for sale on USAM. 2 different lengths.

I suggest you only buy LHY from Vinshine Audio.   
Do you consider preamp input gain control?
My Legacy Wavelet II has dip switches on the back to adjust input gain on all inputs. I had a problem with distortion and an email to Legacy solved it with the use of the dip switches.

Footers under new speakers
@buellrider97  To be clear the wiggle I have with the speakers mounted on the ViaBlue’s is not a bad or "rickety" wiggle, it’s just very clear they are decoupled from my concrete floor is all. They are still very secure. I was lucky and got my set... 
Footers under new speakers
I am currently using ViaBlue footers under my 140lb Legacy Focus XD's. I left the shallow spikes on them and those settle into the footers. You can push the speakers and they wiggle similar as to how the Townsend podiums do. I have not seen anywhe...

@wig   I like them there, not a big change from the Orea.  But nice. I ordered 1 more Orea Bronze to have a set of 4 for under the TaiHang. (Use of assets..LOL)

I just got the AUVA EQ for under my Aurender N200 to try. I had the Iso Accoustics Orea there before.

@superpower65   what gear do you have plugged into your TaiHang?  
I2S Recommendation
I will add Revelation Audio Labs HDMI I2s cable to the list of suggestions. I have one that replaced my Tubulus Argentus, the solid core silver is much smoother midrange with all the details, better soundstage width and depth.
