Don't dismiss the ability to go direct merely because the cdp uses digital volume attenuation. I use a Heart 6000 which has a digital volume control and find that going direct is more dynamic and transparent w/ better transients/attack compared to using a pre-amp.
Yes it does sound better at higer volumes but even at lower volumes I still prefer plugging the cdp direct.
