CD Players With Balanced Variable Outputs?

Springbok - is the variable output an option on the APL/Denon 3910? (My understanding was that this unit had fixed outputs only).

"I'm guessing that he needs balanced outputs that have a variable volume control."

Alas, that was the intent of my question. My limited understanding is that many players, perhaps not the very best, "lose something" when using the variable outputs rather than the fixed outputs. Does this change if the variable outputs are run through XLR balanced outputs.

FP,

I'm guessing that he needs balanced outputs that have a variable volume control.

Shanling T-100 cd player or T-200 SACD players. Both tubed or solid state outputs on the same machine, plus a tubed headphone amp built in as a free bonus....

Good sound, good looks, fully appointed, it's a winner.

- Audio Aero "Capitol" series

Resolution Audio Opus 21
Theta Miles (balanced-optional)
Monarchy Audio Model 33 DAC (requires a transport)

I've owned all of the above......

My question about "balanced variable output" means,I think, both together. It seems many CD players have have either balanced XLR outputs plus RCA unbalanced outputs, or fixed and variable RCA outputs, but not balanced XLR outputs with a variable volume capability. Sorry for any confusion. I suppose some of the units mentioned above have this variable XLR output I'm asking about.

Ktennis, what exactly do you mean by

Almost any Wadia.

Cary 303/300 does...not sure if other Cary's do. Output level is adjusted from remote in 63 levels
