Interfacing MAX9744 with Audio Codec

Question

Hi, 
 We are using MAX9744 to provide Stereo audio output for 2 speaker with 5W power for each. On MCU side we have the I2S and therefore we need to use the Audio CODEC with I2S. For MAX9744 the audio input pins are INL and INR so is there any Audio Codec that we can use to interface with MAX9744? 
 Please confirm if we can use MAX9880A with its LOUTR and LOUTL connected to the MAX9744 INR and INL pins. We are OK to do so but there are many other interfaces on MAX9880A that are useless for our application. If there is any other suitable CODEC for MAX9744 then please suggest. 
 
 Kind regards, 
 Muhammad Awais

Muhammad, 
 You could use one of our headphone CODECs like the MAX9860 or MAX9867 for a slimmer CODEC. The headphones are single-ended output and capable of driving the MAX9744 inputs.

 A simpler option could be to use a pair of our mono speaker amps like the MAX98365.
