Parasound vs Coda

Parasound vs. Coda is a side ways move at best. You've already said your system sounds great! You just have the itch for a new toy! Your brain is in control wanting that dopamine hit that the experience of a new amp will provide. Stick with what you have!

Agreed sidways without big change in character.
 

Looks like you have a nicely balanced system.

Might consider Pass XA amp or  a good tube amp to get the character change you are looking for. 

I likke the Coda amps a lot more than I like their pres.

Gwnerally speaking, my experience with Parasound has been warm, Coda robust, and Pass lean and itchy.  No questions please.  🤣

One of the reasons I asked is if anything for a sanity check, and certainly would prefer not to make a sideways move at significant expense! I rarely get the itch but when it bites, it bites.

The two other areas outside amplifiers are to try a tube pre or add a pair of REL/Rythmic subs. There are many recommended options on the tube pre side that aren't crazy expensive and worth trying out at the very least to see how I like it.

The adventure continues.

I second the tube preamp. I run solid state amps - Pass X250.5, LSa Voyager GAN, and Ampzilla monoblocks - into tube preamps. The Aric Audio Motherlode is the best of the bunch. The Black Ice hybrid is damn good as is the Audio GD tube preamp. Switching to tube preamp seems like a bang for the buck move.
